Casey Clark — a seasoned executive with 25 years of experience leading national trade associations and advising highly regulated businesses, industry groups and nonprofits — is president & CEO of NAPEO.
Before joining NAPEO, Clark served as senior vice president at the American Gaming Association (AGA), where, as a member of the senior leadership team, he drove organizational strategy, communications, research and strategic initiatives for the casino gaming industry during the most transformational period in its history.
In his six years at the AGA, Clark crafted the association’s award-winning strategy to advance legal sports betting following the landmark Supreme Court decision invalidating the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992.
Prior to the AGA, Clark honed his skills in multi-stakeholder engagement, c-suite advisory and high-profile issues management while serving as a managing director at FTI Consulting and manager at Burson-Marsteller.
Earlier in his career, Clark served in several capacities in the executive offices of the American Chemistry Council and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, providing strategic counsel to C-suite executives in both organizations and supporting global programmatic and policy priorities. He began his career as a public affairs assistant for the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust.
