- Australia's world No11 Kasey Brown has been elected President of a
new board of directors of the Women's Squash Association following a
meeting of WSA members during the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions
this week in New York.
"As the
newly-appointed President of WSA, I would just like to say what an
honour it is to represent the players and I am committed to do
everything I can to promote the tour and women's squash," said the
US-based 28-year-old from New South Wales.
The new WSA Board,
elected by the membership, includes Ashley Bernhard (USA), Kasey Brown
(President, Australia), Nathan Dugan (USA), Jenny Duncalf (England),
Marjolein Houtsma (Netherlands), Latasha Khan (Chairman, USA) and Laura
Massaro (England).
"These directors offer
a variety of skills and qualifications and I look forward to working
with them to make decisions on behalf of the players and for the good
of the Association," continued former world No5 Brown.
"I would also like to
take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Board for all the time and
effort they have put in, which has set a solid foundation to grow the
tour," added the winner of three medals in the 2010 Commonwealth Games
in Delhi.
"We will continue the
WSA vision to Inspire; Empower; and Entertain: Inspire future female
generations to embrace squash as a professional sport; Empower girls
and women on and off the court; and Entertain the world."
The new board will meet soon to map out its strategy for the future - further details of which will be announced in due course.
