NYRA Board to Elect Corporate Officers

The New York Racing Association board of directors, at a meeting scheduled for May 25, will consider a resolution for election or re-election of its corporate officers.

The meeting will include the usual reports from NYRA officials. At a meeting in April, the board approved a resolution recommending Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature return NYRA to private control after a three-year state oversight period.

The corporate officer resolution lists the following nine individuals who serve or will serve "at the pleasure of the NYRA directors," according to the meeting agenda packet.

They are Christopher Kay, president and chief executive officer; Joseph Lambert, senior vice president, chief administration officer, general counsel, and corporate secretary; Lynn LaRocca, senior vice president and chief experience officer; Martin Panza, senior vice president of racing operations; David O'Rourke, vice president and chief revenue officer; Bob Hughes, vice president and chief information officer; Glen Kozak, vice president of facilities and racing surfaces; Robert Sica, vice president of security; and James Ranton, vice president and chief human resources officer.
