Description
The 2006 conference featured a session where audience members had the chance to participate in a moderated informal discussion with four pioneers in the problem gambling field (Durand Jacobs, Henry Lesieur, Rena Nora and Richard Rosenthal). The session was extremely well-attended and well-received, and was particularly valuable for those who don’t regularly attend national conferences. I propose to replicate this session with three or four past winners of either the Goldman or Custer awards. While I am certainly available to moderate such a session, I am also willing to cede that privilege to someone more qualified.
