A new trade organization dedicated to promoting diversity within management of gaming companies has been formed in Las Vegas.

The Gaming Organization for Leadership Diversity (GOLD), incorporated late last year, has more than 100 members, group officials estimate. The group's mission is to "encourage, support and facilitate the development and advancement of women and minorities holding management positions in gaming and related industries and provide career, leadership and lifestyle improvements through education and networking."

The group began forming informally early last year, said GOLD President Fran Inman, a senior vice president with Majestic Realty, the owner of the Silverton hotel-casino.
