MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams conveyed his profound gratitude for the governor’s choice, emphasizing that Lambert-Bounds’ sustained leadership will substantially benefit the agency.
Reappointed for a tenure concluding on Dec. 31, 2028, Lambert-Bounds holds the position of president and co-owner of Ignite Social Media, LLC, and also acts as the chief operating officer and co-owner of its affiliated company, Carusele Media. She additionally participates on the executive boards of the Sphinx Organization, International Women’s Forum, and the Michigan Partnership for Equity and Opportunity. Lambert-Bounds is an alumnus of Wayne State University.
The MGCB is tasked with implementing, administering, and enforcing legal provisions concerning the licensing, oversight, and operations of the three sanctioned Detroit casinos — MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Hollywood Casino at Greektown. Furthermore, the agency licenses and regulates fantasy contests, oversees pari-mutuel horse racing and casino-style charitable gaming (millionaire parties), and conducts audits of tribal gaming compact agreements for the state’s 12 federally recognized tribes.
The Board is made up of five Michigan residents selected by the Governor, with one member appointed by the Governor to serve as the chairperson. According to the Michigan Gaming Control & Revenue Act, no more than three members may be affiliated with the same political party.
A minimum of three Board members must be present in meetings to establish a quorum for conducting standard business. The 2025 meeting timetable is available on the agency’s website at Michigan.gov/MGCB and the subsequent meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at Cadillac Place in Detroit.
Lambert-Bounds recommenced her duties as an MGCB Board Member on Jan. 9, joining current Board members Joni M. Thrower Davis, Mark Evenson, Andrew T. Palms, and Board chair Linda Forte. Her reappointment requires the advice and consent of the Michigan Senate.
