I want to extend my deepest gratitude to GGW’s incredible members, sponsors, board members, and volunteers for your dedicated commitment to the organization over my term of service, during which we achieved more than 3,000 new members, launched 10 new programs, and held 17 live education events, which expanded into two new countries.”
Lane commented: “GGW’s mission to support, inspire, and influence the development of women in the gaming industry began thanks to its founders’ vision and commitment, which I am excited to champion in my role as president and chair of the board of directors. Outgoing GGW president Lauren Bates brought the organization to new heights, and I extend my immense appreciation to her for positioning the organization for continued success.”
