The US casino lobby group is reportedly looking for a new chief exec as its current leader prepares to exit in August.

On Monday, CDC Gaming Reports claimed that the American Gaming Association (AGA) will issue a statement on Tuesday announcing the departure of Geoff Freeman, the group’s CEO since 2013.

The 43-year-old Freeman will reportedly stay on the job until August 1 to oversee the AGA’s transition to new leadership. The AGA’s board apparently doesn’t have a successor lined up, suggesting that Freeman’s departure came as something of a surprise. Freeman is reportedly leaving to take a similar position with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, where he can represent melons and not melonheads for a change.

Freeman, who formerly served as executive VP of the US Travel Association, assumed the AGA’s top job following the departure of Frank Fahrenkopf, a former Republican party insider and the only CEO the AGA had known since its formation in July 1995.
