The Board of Directors of the Multi-State Lottery Association has elected Sarah Monnett Taylor, Executive Director of the Hoosier Lottery, to serve as Board President for Fiscal Year 2021.
Taylor is a graduate of Greencastle HS and Indiana University and was first appointed as Executive Director of the Hoosier Lottery by former Governor Mike Pence in 2013 and reappointed by Governor Eric Holcomb in 2016.
She will become the 31st MUSL Board President and the first ever to serve from the Hoosier Lottery.
Commenting on the appointment, Taylor said: “It’s my honor to help lead the 38 member lotteries with a strategic plan to help each one responsibly maximize profits for all the good causes they support.”
She added: “Powerball is the number one product of the Multi-State Lottery Association and has successfully helped generate billions for good causes. Each member lottery offers one or more multi-jurisdictional game, and all profits are retained by the individual lotteries to fund projects or purposes approved by their authorizing legislatures.
“In Indiana alone it helps us contribute to police, firefighter pension funds and teachers’ retirement funds to the tune of $30m each.”
Taylor served MUSL most recently as Vice President. Prior to that she chaired both the Audit Committee and the Finance and Audit Committee and was the first Hoosier Lottery Director to serve in both roles as well.
