Kirk Hendrick, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board for the past two years, has resigned and will leave the post at the end of the 2025 legislative session.
Hendrick made the announcement Wednesday after meeting with Gov. Joe Lombardo recently.
An exact date for Hendricks’ resignation has not been set, but legislative sessions in Nevada last 120 days and usually end in June.
Hendrick announced his planned departure in a two-paragraph statement to the board and staff.
“I recently had a great conversation with Governor Lombardo and we discussed how much the board has accomplished since he appointed me chairman two years ago,” the statement said. “We also discussed more that still needs to be done, including the board’s priorities for the legislative session that begins next month. Our conversation ended with me informing the governor of my intention to step down as board chairman after the legislative session.
“My announcement today gives Governor Lombardo time to find the next board chair and provides a smooth transition of leadership,” he said. “It also allows me to tell all the great board agents and employees as well as Nevada’s gaming industry, citizens and visitors that I am dedicated to accomplishing much more in the coming months.”
