NORTHBOROUGH, MASS. – IWLCA President Kelly Gallagher, head coach at the University of Tampa, has announced the election results for the 2026 IWLCA Board of Directors. There were six vacancies contested in this election cycle, including IWLCA President and Secretary, both Executive Committee positions, and four Divisional representatives – one in Division I, two in Division II, and one in Division III. Additionally, the Board selected a new DEI Representative to the Board of Directors based on a recommendation from the Equity & Inclusion committee. All board members will begin their new terms of service on July 1, 2026.
"Both our IWLCA staff and the Nominating Committee worked very hard to ensure we had competitive candidates for the Board of Directors vacancies this year," Gallagher said. "One candidate was re-elected to her current position, two positions were filled by former Board members, and we will also have four new Board members joining us, all of whom have experience in serving the IWLCA membership. This is an exciting and dynamic time for our sport and the Board has been very proactive addressing the changes in collegiate athletics, which has positioned our association for continued success as leaders in the sport."
Karrie Moore serves as the head coach at Ithaca College, and was previously a Division III Representative on the Board. Moore was elected as IWLCA Secretary. She has experience coaching at both Division III and Division I institutions and is the Division III chair of the IWLCA's Online Video Exchange committee (OVEC).
The IWLCA re-structured the Board of Directors to balance Divisional representation in 2017. This structure includes the four officers comprising the Executive Committee, as well as three Representatives from each NCAA Division and one representing the NAIA. The most recent update of the IWLCA Bylaws included the addition of the two Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) representatives. Each regular term on the Board of Directors is three years, though from time to time, the term length is shorter when a special election is held to fill an unexpected vacancy.
"I would also like to recognize the service and contributions of our outgoing Board members, Elizabeth Beville and Jill Batchellar." Gallagher said. "Their work on behalf of the IWLCA membership is commendable, and we look forward to thanking them in person at the 2026 IWLCA Convention in November."
