National Council on Problem Gambling Announces Leadership Transition

Washington, DC – The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) Board of Directors today announced the departure of Keith Whyte from his position as Executive Director, effective as of January 13, 2025.  

Nancy Green, FASAE, CAE, has been appointed as Interim Executive Director. Ms. Green brings extensive association, nonprofit leadership, and program experience to her roles in mission-driven environments, most recently as Interim Executive Director for the American Sustainable Business Network. 

“On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Keith for his leadership and contributions to the organization during his tenure,” said NCPG board president Susan Sheridan Tucker. “During this transition, our mission to lead awareness and advocacy efforts to reduce gambling harm remains our top priority, and we are confident in the team we have in place to seamlessly carry out this vital work.”  

Green said, “Having guided several organizations through periods of change, I appreciate that maintaining operational excellence and mission focus are paramount during transitions. NCPG’s work in reducing gambling-related harm is too important to pause. The dedicated staff, committed board, and engaged stakeholders will continue driving essential programs and advocacy efforts forward while we chart the organization’s next chapter.” 

The Board of Directors will conduct a national search to identify a permanent Executive Director later this year.
