WISPA Board Announces President Grainger In New
Expanded Role
The Women's International Squash Players'
Association (WISPA) announced that current president Natalie Grainger
will be assuming the role as WISPA Principal with immediate effect.
"Natalie has been
WISPA's President for over six years, and will assume her extended role until a
suitable permanent candidate is found, allowing us to begin the transition from
former CEO Andrew Shelley immediately," explained WISPA Chairman
Ingrid Lofdahl-Bentzer.
"Natalie's appointment has been unanimously
agreed by all members of the WISPA Board and it serves to ensure that the
association receives the full attention it deserves throughout the transition
period for the benefit of its members."
Natalie Grainger stated: "I am delighted to
serve the association to the fullest, particularly during this transition
period. WISPA has a tremendously successful history and it is vital that during
this interim period we do not lose any momentum. I am of course extremely
familiar with players, promoters and stakeholders in our sport and am committed
to ensuring WISPA’s best interests are maintained."
The Board are delighted that Natalie has agreed
to the appointment to ensure a smooth transition. "We are very fortunate that
Natalie has agreed to take up a role at the helm, for which she is eminently
qualified," added the Chairman. "Work has already begun in the search for a
permanent CEO and we have been very encouraged by the quality of some of the
potential candidates."
