Hinds gets nod for 7th-consecutive term as WIPA president

WEST Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Sunday at St Kitts Marriott, in St Kitts, where the membership re-elected the entire executive team and appointed its second female director.

The AGM coincided with the Women’s Super50 tournament, enabling participating players to attend and gain deeper insight into the association’s activities and achievements over the past year.

The membership unanimously re-elected the incumbent leadership team for another term, which will run until 2027.

Wavell Hinds, who has been at the helm of WIPA since 2011, was re-elected unopposed for his seventh-consecutive term as president.

He will continue to lead alongside Vice-President Nixon McLean, Honorary Secretary Wayne Lewis, Assistant Secretary Liam Sebastien, and Treasurer Ridley Jacobs. Additionally, Rashada Williams was appointed as the association’s second non-elected director, joining Shakera Selman on the board.

WIPA President and Chief Executive Officer Wavell Hinds expressed gratitude for the continued trust and confidence placed in him and his team.

“I remain committed to prioritising the needs of our players and membership throughout my leadership. I extend a warm welcome to our new director, Ms Rashada Williams, and wish her and the entire executive team success in the upcoming term.”
