COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado – Following the Pan American and Para
Pan American Championships in Medellin, Colombia last month, World
Archery Americas (WAA) announced recent council and committee election
results. USA Archery is proud to congratulate several dedicated U.S.
individuals who have been elected to serve upcoming terms.
Phil Graves was re-elected to the Development Committee through 2022 and
will serve as Chair of the committee. Graves, who has served on the
committee since 2014, has since developed a Coach Certification and
Assessment procedure that has become mandatory throughout WAA, led
many coaching seminars throughout the Americas and helped create the
Carribean Championships.
Graves previously shared with USA Archery: “I am very happy and motivated
to be involved with WAA in developing archery in areas where there is an
interest. It’s very gratifying to go to an international event and see the new
archers competing. What is even nicer for me, is to revisit a country who has
received the equipment and training, and see kids and adult programs very
active and enthusiastic. The growth of archery is truly a global experience, and
we should be leading the way in assisting the development.”
United States Para Archery Team member Martha Chavez was elected to the
Athlete’s Committee for a four-year term and will serve with Chair, Olympian
Aida Roman of Mexico and El Salvador’s Roberto Hernandez. On her recent
election, Chavez commented: “I’m honored to help build a legacy of leadership
and inclusion for Para Athletes across the Americas. I’m committed to growing
the sport for future generations and supporting the Para Team's Strategic plan
by #stepping up, #reachingout and #leadingbyexample.”
USA’s Alison Pope-Rhodius was also elected to serve a four-year term on the
Medical and Sports Sciences Committee. Pope-Rhodius has made significant
contributions to the sport and our athletes in sports psychology and mental
performance.
World Archery Americas Secretary General Sergio Font shared: “We welcome
our new Council and Committee Members and invite them to contribute their
time and efforts to further develop archery in the Americas.”
