AGA Diversity Task Force

The AGA Diversity Task Force was created in 2000 to promote inclusion in all aspects of the commercial casino industry. The task force, which is divided into three subcommittees - Human Resources, Purchasing and Contracting and Construction - conducts workshops, collects industry data and organizes Opportunity Expo, a forum for minority business enterprises (MBEs), disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and women's business enterprises (WBEs) to engage in one-on-one discussions with purchasing executives from leading worldwide gaming companies.
