One of the seminal figures in the history of Atlantic City gaming passed away last week. Redenia Gilliam-Mosee, a former senior vice president of public affairs with Bally's Park Place and Harrah's Entertainment, was one of the first Atlantic City residents to be employed by the casino industry at a senior level.
Gilliam-Mosee participated in many community organizations, rising to senior levels with such organizations as the Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce and the Boys and Girls Club. Her commitment to the community included the promotion of the first casino-funded housing in Atlantic City. She helped get Bally's to fund construction on a project called Jacobs Family Terrace, which she proudly touted the rest of her life.
Her tenacity in getting what was best for her community and her company was legendary. After retiring from Harrah's, Gilliam-Mosee joined the administration of Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford when he assumed office for the second time in 2008. As business administrator, Gilliam-Mosee directed the operations of the city and saved the city millions of dollars by her attention to detail and her ways of persuasion.
This week, the Global Gaming Business Podcast features a special edition, an interview conducted with Gilliam Mosee late in 2008, published in Casino Connection magazine in February 2009, and conducted by Global Gaming Business Publisher Roger Gros and Associate Editor Marjorie Preston.
