MGM Resorts International, a global hospitality company, has appointed Thomas Auriemma to its compliance committee, which is composed entirely of independent members who are charged with the responsibility of reviewing matters of significance and providing guidance and counsel to management and the board of directors. 

Auriemma was a gaming regulator in New Jersey for more than 28 years.  After serving for more than a decade as Deputy Director for the Division of Gaming Enforcement, he was appointed in 2002 by the Governor of New Jersey as the Director of the agency, a position he held until 2007. In these roles, he served as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of New Jersey.

Auriemma's previous experience includes serving as a Deputy Attorney General in the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice and as the Deputy Director of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission's Legal Division, making him one of the few individuals to be employed by both casino regulatory agencies in New Jersey.  

Other members of the compliance committee include Ellen Knowlton, former FBI Special Agent in Charge, Las Vegas Division; William Urga, a former Commissioner of the Nevada Gaming Commission; and Richard Morgan, founding Dean of the William S. Boyd School of Law.
