New members appointed to World Curling commissions and committees

The World Curling Federation is pleased to confirm new member appointments to its Competition and Rules Commission and the formation of the Nominations Committee at the conclusion of the elections process.

On the Competition and Rules Commission, the newly appointed members are Susan Kesley (Scotland) and Katja Kiiskinen (Finland).

The role of the Commission is to review World Curling Federation Competitions and Rules and ensure they are fit for purpose. The Commission also considers proposals for changes submitted to it by Member Associations and the reports from Coach and Team Leader meetings held at each World Curling Championship which suggest changes to improve the game.

The Nominations Committee has now been officially established after its approval at the World Curling Congress in September 2020. The members elected to the committee are: Amy Nixon (Canada); Karen Wauters (Luxembourg); and Morten Sogard (Norway). The Athletes Commission has appointed Kim Forge (Australia) and the Board has appointed Hew Chalmers (Scotland) to the Committee.

The Nominations Committee has been established to ensure Board candidates are eligible to stand, to increase the number of candidates by actively seeking people to stand and to open up the Board nomination process. The committee will also be responsible for recruiting candidates who may address a skills gap on the Board and will provide information to the Membership to assist them in the election process.
