Ivanka Trump to join Trump board
2007-07-14
Heiress and former runway model Ivanka Trump is joining the board of the gaming company that bears her flamboyant father's name. "She's been outstanding in everything she has done, and she will be an outstanding board member," Donald Trump told The Press of Atlantic City for Saturday editions. Ivanka Trump will join the board of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. The 25-year-old already has some experience to draw from: She was her father's sidekick on his reality television show "The Apprentice." She currently is a vice president with the Trump Organization, which controls Trump hotels, real estate holdings and golf courses, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, one of the nation's top business schools. Before joining the board, Ivanka Trump must get a license from the state Casino Control Commission. The agency is expected to grant her preliminary approval as soon as Wednesday. Casino regulators will conduct a background check to make sure she has done nothing that would disqualify her from holding a gambling license.
