IGDA Executive Director Gordon Bellamy Steps Down Rejoins Board of Directors; Search for Replacement Underway   MOUNT ROYAL, NJ – July 30, 2012 – The International Game Developers Association’s (IGDA) Executive Director Gordon Bellamy is stepping down after two years to take a position with Tencent as Director of Business Development and Industry Relations.  Dustin Clingman, chair of the board of directors, and CEO, ZeeGee Games, will serve as the interim Executive Director until a suitable replacement is found.   “Gordon has done great things for the IGDA.  He has been a tireless and thoughtful champion publicly as well as behind the scenes for our community,” Clingman said.  “We wish him well in his new position.”   During Bellamy’s two years as executive director, the association began several new programs and saw a marked increase in membership and chapters.  Among the programs Bellamy spearheaded was the expansion of the IGDA’s Scholars program.   Before becoming executive director, Bellamy was a member of the IGDA board of directors, serving as Board Chair in 2010.   He will now rejoin the board and finish the third year of his board term.   “It is a great privilege to serve our global development community,’ Bellamy said. I want to thank our leaders and their inspiring colleagues who paved the way for me to have the opportunity to serve our community.  As I enter my 20th year in our craft, I will still be very much involved with its leadership as we move forward. It is incumbent upon developers to value and help other developers.”  Contact: Dustin Clingman at dus...@igda.org Copyright © 2012 International Game Developers Association, All rights reserved.
