Charles H. Jeffers Takes the Helm as NCPG's Interim Executive Director

Charles H. Jeffers has been appointed as the Interim Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), effective immediately. The NCPG is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to mitigating gambling-related harm through advocacy and awareness.

Jeffers, the founder of The Jeffers Group, brings a wealth of experience to the role. He holds a bachelor’s degree from American International College and a Master of Public Administration from Georgia State University. Currently, he serves on the board of Baltimore Squash Wise and the Board of Trustees of Maine Central Institute.

Derek Longmeier, the Board President of NCPG, expressed excitement about Jeffers' appointment. The decision to name an interim director follows the unexpected departure of NCPG’s former Executive Director, Heather Maurer, who resigned in September after being appointed in November of the previous year.
