SG’s Carla Schaefer Joins NCPG as Director

On Wednesday, Scientific Games announced that its vice president of global responsible gambling, Carla Schaefer, has been appointed to the board of directors of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). The lottery industry professional, who has 36 years of experience in the said industry, is also heading Scientific Games’ Healthy Play program, which provides resources to lotteries to help them raise awareness among their players about gambling problems and addiction.

Schaefer is the only lottery industry executive serving the NCPG’s board of directors. She was named to the position of open organization member on the 15-member board of directors of NCPG and will help guide policies and work on strategies to achieve the council’s goals.

Schaefer started to work in the lottery industry firstly in a state lottery. Later, in 1994, she moved to the lottery private sector by joining Scientific Games. Prior to her current position, she served as a regional vice president, international business development, vice president of new business development, and managing director, among others.
Keith Whyte, who serves as an executive director of NCPG, commented that the council is “thrilled” about Schaefer joining its board of directors.
