The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), an organisation of 27,000 American poker players, has announced that world-renowned poker all-star Howard Lederer will join the PPA board of directors.
Michael Bolcerek, president of the Poker Players Alliance said, 'Howard's reputation within the poker community and his ongoing efforts on behalf of our organization and poker players to defend the game from attacks by Congress and others make him a great addition to the board.'
In April, Lederer teamed up with the PPA and fellow poker players Chris Ferguson and Greg Raymer, to meet with members of Congress in order to educate them about the game of poker and why attempts to ban the game online are ill-advised.
In accepting his position on the board, Lederer said, 'The challenge of promoting and protecting poker is the reason I joined the PPA as a member and wanted to get personally involved by joining the PPA board of directors. I believe that all poker players should join the PPA and tell Capitol Hill that we do not want the Federal government to ban an American tradition that we love”
Lederer will sit on the PPA board alongside other prestigious members including Linda Johnson, Greg Dinkin, Mary Magazine, and Jan Fisher.
