Hendrick said: “I recently had a great conversation with Governor Lombardo, and we discussed how much the board has accomplished since he appointed me as chairman two years ago. We also discussed more to still be accomplished, including the board’s priorities for the legislative session starting next month. Our conversation concluded with me informing the governor of my intention to resign as board chair following the legislative session.

“My announcement today allows Governor Lombardo time to find the next board chair and provides for a smooth transition of leadership. It also allows me to tell all the amazing board agents and employees, as well as Nevada’s gaming industry, citizens and visitors, that I am dedicated to accomplishing much more over the next several months.”
