Since May 2016 the current President of the Institute of Gaming of the Province of Neuquén, Alfredo Mónaco CPA, has also been President of the Argentine Association of State Lotteries.

Alfredo Mónaco has extensive jurisdictional and federal experience in the management of agencies charged with regulating gaming. From 1975 to 2007 he was Director General of Lotteries of the Province of Neuquén, and it was during his term as President of IJAN, with Neuquen's inclusion in the Association in 1976, that he first became involved in ALEA. 

Ever since then he has played an increasingly active role in the agency's development: in addition to sitting on various Consultancy Commissions, he has also held a number of Board of Directors appointments, one of them as President in 2002/2003 and 2004/2005. His most recent appointment is as Vice President for the period 2015/2016. Mónaco is one of the few recipients of the gold watches awarded for more than 30 years' service with ALEA.

His career has not been restricted to gaming: for instance from 2007 to 2011 he was Deputy Secretary of Public Revenue of the Province of Neuquén. 

In his current position as President of ALEA , his energy is focused on his vision to turn the Association into a Federal Facilitating, Responsible and Strategic organization. In his own words, as President of ALEA which encompasses the 24 state lotteries, "these are the most salient points of our proposal, and we firmly believe that they reflect the prestige and experience that characterize the Association, which remains committed to its strategic mission to position itself as an advisory body for the benchmarking and training of Argentina's regulatory agencies in the field of control, oversight, modernization and optimization of resources."

Lea Meyer

Consultant, Project Manager and Evaluator, Parliamentary Control of the Administration

As a specialist in performance and public management, Dr. Meyer focuses on the influence of regulation on an organization’s strategic choices and performance orientation. Her key area of interest is facilitating the process through which organizations can orient performance in relation to the regulatory environment.

Through her consultancy, Polaris - strategic foresight, Dr. Meyer serves organizations by helping them to establish their own performance dimensions and linking them to the regulatory environment. This creates a collaborative relationship between the organization and its regulator. Dr. Meyer has designed a model embracing six different performance dimensions, each composed of specific key performance indicators. By applying this model, Dr. Meyer assists in creating a better understanding of the different types of performance. Particularly in the gambling sector, an integrated, multidimensional performance model enhances an organization's transparency, strengthens its market positioning, and helps it distinguish itself from its competitors. An organization able to demonstrate a proactive, sophisticated performance – including social, environmental and legal performance, as well as financial and operational performance – wins a clear advantage over its competitors. Further, those organizations that are able to show that they both hold and measure values, such as social responsibility and transparency, will strengthen and safeguard their reputations.

Dr. Meyer also developed a unique tool, which encompasses ten different indicators and captures the regulatory intensity in which an organization operates. Her research identifies the benefit of a global approach to the analysis of the regulatory environment. She assists regulators in improving their understanding of these links and in addressing the impact of a regulation on the subject. Her work has also demonstrated that by developing a more sophisticated and proactive approach to performance, organizations gain a more meaningful and collaborative interaction with regulators and other industry actors.
