The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers has elected a new Board of Directors and approved membership applications of three new companies, at its 2026 Annual Meeting.
According to a release, four directors have been approved for one-year terms on the board:
- Elaine Hodgson – President/CEO of Incredible Technologies
- Lauralyn Sandoval – VP of Gaming Strategy & Business Development, Aristocrat Gaming
- Phil O’Shaughnessy – VP Global Communications, Gov’t Relations & Sustainability, IGT
- Steve DiMasi – SVP Global Gov’t Affairs & Business Development, Light & Wonder
The group also approved Randy Gilbert – CEO of TableTrac – as the board’s new Secretary and Thomas Jingoli – President and COO of Konami Gaming – as its Treasurer.
In other additions, Cassie Stratford – SVP Legal Operations & Compliance, Boyd Gaming and Global Gaming Women Advisory Board Member – was approved as an ex-oficio/non-voting member of the board. Bob Parente – VP & Chief Business Development Officer at Light & Wonder – was also approved as an ex-oficio member and Assistant Treasurer.
The group notes that the non-voting roles ‘are established both to further expand the perspectives and voices within AGEM from the global gaming community and maintain dialogue on long-term AGEM strategic initiatives’.
AGEM Board Chair Ryan Cornstock – Acting CEO at Ainsworth Game Technology – was not up for election given the two-year nature of his term as Chair.
The meeting also saw the AGEM’s membership expanded, with approval of three companies: US Bank; Sun-Fly USA, Inc; and Adiostics, Inc – joining as Associate Members.
This follows recent additions of new members Walker Digital Table Systems as a Silver member, CBRE as an Associate and CasinoReviews.net as an Associate – approved in late 2025.
