The move makes her the only lottery executive to hold one of the 15 seats on the board, and she has personally been in charge of Scientific Games’ responsible gaming measures, including the Healthy Play initiative – which helps educate lottery players about the subject of problem gambling.
Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling, said of Schaefer’s new role: “The NCPG is thrilled that Carla Schaefer has joined our board of directors. She brings a wealth of knowledge about the lottery industry and corporate and social responsibility to our organisation for the benefit of all stakeholders.”
Meanwhile, Scientific Games Chief Legal Officer Dena Rosenzweig added: “We congratulate Carla on her appointment to the NCPG board of directors. Carla is a respected lottery professional with a passion to make a difference in responsible gaming. Scientific Games, our employees, lottery customers, and NCPG are fortunate to have her on our teams.”
