MGM Appoints Former Lobbyist To Board
MGM Mirage (MGM: 11.10 0.00%) has announced that William “Bill” Bible has been elected to fill one of three vacancies on the gaming company’s board of directors.
Bible was elected to the board during the March 8, 2010 board meeting.
The casino operator said that Bible will resign from his role as President of the tourism lobbying group Nevada Resort Association effective immediately to avoid any conflict of interest.
Resort Association Chairman Keith Smith said Bible will be leaving immediately but will assist in the transition to name his replacement.
Bible has headed the group for more than a decade and previously served as chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board as well as several other positions in state government organizations.
Bible’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval.
“Bill’s wealth of expertise and familiarity with a wide range of financial and regulatory matters in both hospitality and gaming will serve as a tremendous asset to our company,” MGM Mirage Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Murren said in a statement Tuesday.
