Rumbolz to Replace Jim Allen
Having been approved by the AGA board, Rumbolz will commence his new position in January where he will serve two-year terms. He will be replacing Jim Allen, the Chairman of Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming CEO.
It’s an honour to welcome Mike – an industry legend in his own right – as the next AGA chairman. Mike’s career as an operator, manufacturer and regulator is unparalleled and will be vital to driving meaningful progress on industry priorities. Jim’s knowledge, insight and guidance have helped the AGA advance our mission and maximise our impact for the industry. He’s been a trusted advisor to me and I am thankful for his partnership over the last two years.
Rumbolz's appointment follows the recent addition of Joe Maloney to the association’s executive team.
