This is the eighth year for the award.

"I am extremely pleased and honored and wish to thank Casino Enterprise Management, and, in particular, the eight-member judging committee for this award," said Tammy Farley, who along with her business partner, Bruce Barfield, co-founded Rainmaker in 1998. "I also want to thank Bruce and our customers who wrote letters of support on my behalf. Their confidence and kind words are especially humbling."

To qualify as a Proven Leader, candidates must have worked in the gaming industry for a minimum of 10 years and have been in their current position for at least one year.

Tammy's exceptional customer focus and vision remains a driving force behind Rainmaker's remarkably impressive entrepreneurial growth story.
