Celebrating 30 Years of Service
Join us for a 30th Anniversary digital celebration on ECPG LIVE! We are doing a Dickens inspired episode looking at ECPG’s past, present, and future. The landscape and awareness of problem gambling has come a long way over the years, and we like to think that ECPG has played a role in that in Washington State. Find out how ECPG has influenced the field of problem gambling awareness and services, adapted with changing times, and what’s still yet to come. And most of all, find out how you can celebrate with us!
