The Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey has named Felicia Grondin as its new executive director. Grondin has served as acting executive director since July, and has been a board member of the agency for four years.
Grondin was previously chief of staff for Assemblyman Fred Scerni and legislative liaison of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, where she helped streamline regulations. In addition, she served as assistant dean of social and behavioral sciences and associate director of the Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism at Stockton University.
“I am elated to have been selected as the council’s executive director due to my concern for the problem gambler and their families, especially due to the proliferation of gambling opportunities across the United States,” Grondin said. “I look forward to continuing to help those dealing with a gambling disorder.”
