From Day 1, we’ve understood that ‘Diversity’ means having everyone at the table and the Native American Casinos are a significant piece of our industry. Holly’s wealth of experience working in this sector as well as her advocacy diversity will be invaluable to the work we do going forward,” said Kelly Kehn, Co-Founder of All-in Diversity Project.Kehn’s co-Founder Christina Thakor-Rankin noted that the project’s success relies on it bringing together critical players who bolster All-in’s ability to represent the full-spectrum of global gaming.“The success of the Project depends upon us being able to bring together all the key players across the global betting and gambling sector, in the pursuit of one common goal – equality of opportunity for all. The US gambling sector would not be what it is today without the Native American Indian Tribes – we could not envisage a scenario where those who had played such an instrumental role in shaping an industry which is inextricably linked to the culture and iconography of modern day America, were not represented at the highest level in this initiative. We believe that the Tribes are as critical to the future of the industry as they have been to its past and cannot stress enough how incredibly fortunate we are that this representation comes in the form of one of the most knowledgeable, experienced and insightful individuals in the industry.”
