The World Curling Tour Players Association (WCTPA) is on the hunt for a new board of directors. The WCTPA, which represents the world's best curlers, has eight seats to fill before the upcoming season.
The WCTPA is currently headed by interim President Pierre Charette. A new president, along with seven other positions will be voted on by players who participanted in World Curling Tour events during the 2008-2009 curling season.
Nominations, which close on May 31st, are looking for five Canadian representatives, one from Europe, and one from the United States. The eighth and final board position is a bit of a wild card and is available to a representative from any nation. Each position is held for one year—except the president, treasurer and secretary, which hold their seat for two years.
The upcoming season is an Olympic year, which could add all kinds of challenges to the new board members. Responsibilities of the board—such as sponsorship, events andmarketing—could encounter some tangles due to the excitment and schedually issues resulting from the Olympic games.
The WCTPA's new board of directors is expected to be in place by June 30th, 2009.
