The North American Pari-Mutuel Regulators Association announced today the addition of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission to its membership.  The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission thus becomes the twenty-fourth racing jurisdiction to join NAPRA.

"The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is very honored to have its name join the NAPRA member jurisdictions. The amenities and tools provided by NAPRA membership will allow Iowa to fulfill its mission of assuring the public of the integrity of racing in Iowa. Under the leadership of President Scott Scepaniak and Executive Director Frank Lamb we anticipate our relationship with NAPRA will be bilaterally beneficial," stated Linda Vanderloo, Director of Racing for the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission.

" We are please to have Iowa as a new member," said NAPRA Executive Director, Frank Lamb.  "Our organization has had several other inquiries recently and the steady increase to our membership is very encouraging," he stated.
