for 2014, 2016 & 2018 will be stepping down from this position after the quarter for the
2020 casino has been announced & the necessary paperwork started.
The person filling this role should be well connected in the community to access volunteers, & well
organized to complete the paperwork & the volunteer scheduling. The professional casino
