WFTDA Elects 2012-14 Board Members

The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) held elections for three positions on its Board of Directors during the organization’s 2012 annual meeting, held May 25-27.

She also served on the Atlanta Rollergirls Board of Directors for three years, serving as oversight for the league’s WFTDA delegation.

Former president Grace Killy, of the Brewcity Bruisers, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, remains on the board, now as Member Ex-Officio. She served one term as president. Prior to joining the board, she served many roles in the Games Committee, concluding her stint there as the Games Officer.
