The Directors of the Mississippi Casino
Operators Association announced today that Beverly Martin has
left her position as
its executive director after 17 years. Martin
was the first executive director for the MCOA after
the merger of the coast casino operators association and the Mississippi

to form the organization, whose purpose is to promote the interests of the gaming industry in
the State of Mississippi, to improve the gaming industry’s service to the
public, to cooperate with Government Officials in advancing the public
interest, to improve conditions within the industry and to pursue common goals.
MCOA Chair, Tess Ingram, general manager of the Lighthouse Point Casino in Greenville, Miss., along with
Vice-Chair, Chett Harrison, general manager
of the Hollywood
Casino in Bay St. Louis, Miss., on behalf of the
MCOA Board of Directors wish to thank Martin for her dedicated years of service
to the organization and industry. “The
entire gaming industry and its 30,000 employees owe
Beverly a debt of gratitude for her tireless work and devotion on behalf of our
industry. We wish her all the best in
her future endeavors,” Ingram said.
Kimberly
Fritz has been appointed interim executive director effective immediately. Fritz,
a local business owner, is a 25 year gaming industry veteran who has held
senior management positions at several casino companies since her move
to the Mississippi Gulf Coast from Atlantic City, N.J. in 1994. “We are excited to have Fritz serve as Interim Executive
Director of MCOA. Her experience and
intelligence will be great assets to the organization, and her enthusiasm will
assure the success of this year’s Southern Gaming Summit,”
Harrison said.
