“Raise your hand to get the opportunity to do the work you find interesting, even if you feel like you know nothing about it. That’s the only way you learn.”

In an inspiring new episode of Illuminating Conversations, Global Gaming Women’s new president Cassie Stratford joins GLI GEO James Maida for an enlightening discussion about diversity and women in the industry; mentorship and volunteerism; and how lessons learned as a new lawyer guide her approach to business and life. In addition to her volunteer role as GGW president, Cassie is VP of Legal Affairs and Assistant General Counsel for Boyd Gaming Corporation.
