SUA – AGEM lansează o cerere de premii Memorial

The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) has issued a Call for Nominations for the Jens Halle Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Commercial Gaming Professionalism and the Peter Mead Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Gaming Media & Communications.

AGEM previously announced the creation of this unique awards program to acknowledge the lasting impacts on gaming by two distinctive industry veterans following their unexpected deaths last year.
Halle, a longtime Bally and Novomatic executive in Europe who was most recently CEO of Gauselmann Group’s Merkur Gaming based in Florida, died suddenly on May 20, 2015 at the age of 57.

Mead, the founder and publisher of Casino Enterprise Management magazine, died suddenly in Las Vegas on June 24, 2015 at the age of 54.

Submissions of 300-700 original words nominating current gaming professionals must be received via email at AGEM.org@cox.net by July 15, 2016, and must meet the following criteria that aim to capture the unique attributes displayed by Halle and Mead during their storied careers:

Jens Halle Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Commercial Gaming Professionalism.

“Nominees must have experience working in the global gaming supplier sector for a minimum of 10 years and possess the following traits and qualities that Jens displayed throughout his working life: Professionalism, business success, attention to detail and timely follow-up; a willingness to ‘go the extra mile,’ both figuratively and literally; a sense of humanity in an oft-times cutthroat business; a recognition of the importance of a handshake and a fair deal for all; and a dedication to the health of the industry as a whole.”

Peter Mead Memorial Award Honoring Excellence in Gaming Media & Communications.

„Candidații trebuie să aibă experiență de lucru în mass-media mainstream, presa comercială de jocuri sau în PR/comunicații pentru o companie individuală de jocuri de noroc de cel puțin 10 ani și să posede următoarele trăsături și calități pe care Peter le-a arătat de-a lungul vieții sale profesionale: Raportare și comunicare de calitate, cu accent pe contact personal pentru a genera idei și a aduna informații; asumarea riscurilor și a pune sub semnul întrebării status quo-ul; provocarea industriei să ia în considerare idei noi; și identificarea partenerilor de încredere pentru a îmbunătăți produsul general.”
