The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) has appointed Mark Jocks as its new chairman for a one-year term.

Jocks assumed his role following the departure of former KGC chairman Dean Montour, who stepped down on March 31 after seven years on the job. The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) thanked Montour for his years of service and wished him all the best in his future endeavors.

Jock’s appointment was supported unanimously by all 12 MCK chiefs. Gaming Portfolio Chief Gina Deer said Jocks had “extensive experience in various parts of the online gaming industry, including regulatory support and information technologies.” Jock joins current commissioners Lori Jacobs and Melanie Mayo in overseeing the vast online gambling business regulated by the KGC.
