View Comments A diversity and inclusion manager for International Gaming Technology received the highest ranking in the first round of introductions and interviews for a seat on the Washoe County School Board. Beth Smith, the parent of a fifth-grader and incoming kindergarten student, is also the chair of the district's zoning advisory committee as well as an IGT employee. "My passion for public education began with my own experience in public schools," she said during the board meeting on Tuesday. Hawah Ahmad, who most recently worked as a lobbyist for the Clark County Education Association, came in close behind Smith in a ranking system where trustees narrowed 10 applicants down to five.
