The American Gaming Association (AGA) has named Joe Maloney as its SVP, Strategic Communications. Part of his duties on the executive team will include “advancing key priorities for AGA members” by overseeing the association’s marketing, research, communications and public affairs campaigns.
AGA President and CEO Bill Miller welcomed Maloney to the team and said that his addition is an asset to the organization.
He commented, “I’m thrilled to have Joe join the AGA and lead our best-in-class communications team. Joe is an accomplished professional who has taken on significant public affairs challenges throughout his career.
“We will benefit not only from his depth of experience and his tireless advocacy, but his enthusiasm and energy to hit the ground running as a champion for the casino gaming industry.”
Maloney will officially step into his new role next month. Prior to his appointment, he served as Washington Commanders’ Vice President of Public Affairs and Strategic Communications.
Maloney said that he is looking forward to taking on his new responsibilities with the AGA.
He said, “I’m honored to join the AGA and its dedicated team at this pivotal moment for the gaming industry.
“The future holds great promise and I’m energized by the opportunity and challenge of communicating the remarkable benefits and economic impact of legal gaming across the country.”
In its latest quarterly results compiled by its Commercial Gaming Revenue Tracker, the AGA reported that the US commercial gaming industry had its best third quarter to date.
This year’s third quarter also grabbed the second-place spot for the highest-grossing commercial gaming quarter. The top earning quarter of all time was this year’s first quarter.
