NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. – Union College head women's lacrosse coach Abigail Jackson is one of five newly elected members of the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Board of Directors, IWLCA President Liz Grote announced on Wednesday afternoon.
"We had an excellent slate of candidates for the vacant Board positions this year," Grote said. "Those that were elected bring both significant experience in the sport and a commitment to service that will allow them to represent our membership. We're excited to welcome them to the Board this year as we continue working to provide professional support to our coaches and growing the sport."
Jackson was elected as a Division III Representative, her first position on the IWLCA Board of Directors. She is currently heavily involved in the IWLCA as a member of the Racial Equity Task Force, and also recently served on the IWLCA's Students of Color Coaching Symposium planning committee and as faculty for the symposium.
"I am honored to begin the work of helping guide the direction of the IWLCA with an incredible group of people," Jackson said. "The positive impact that we can have from this platform, especially considering the social climate when equity, inclusion and access are so important, cannot be understated. I very much look forward to getting started."
Jackson and her fellow newly elected members will begin serving their three-year terms of service on July 1, 2021.
The IWLCA re-structured the Board of Directors in order to balance Divisional representation in 2017. The new structure includes the four officers comprising the Executive Committee, as well as three Representatives from each NCAA Division and one representing the NAIA.
