Jeffers, who founded The Jeffers Group, brings over 30 years of nonprofit leadership and consulting experience. He has previously served as interim executive director of the American Occupational Therapy Association and CEO of the Bermuda Tourism Authority. NCPG, founded in 1972, is the only national nonprofit focused on reducing gambling harm and runs the National Problem Gambling Helpline.
The council is currently navigating the challenges brought about by products that exist outside traditional gambling regulation, such as financial trading platforms and prediction markets.
