NEW LEADERSHIP AT WIS HQ, WELCOME GRACE AHRENS!

Hey squad, huddle in and join us in giving the warmest welcome to Grace Ahrens, our newest addition to the WIS HQ family! We’re thrilled to announce Grace as the Executive Director of Women in Soccer, where she’s now your go-to teammate for everything concerning the daily running of our network. Whether you have questions about WIS or just want to say “Hey!” you can connect with Grace on WIS Slack or shoot her an email at ???? [email protected]

We’re ecstatic to have Grace join WIS HQ as she brings an incredible range of skills that will help elevate our network’s game! Formerly the GM of WIS partner NYC Footy, she played a pivotal role in propelling the largest coed adult recreational soccer league in New York City to new heights. Grace also has a background in social work and a passion for building progressive and inclusive communities just like our squad. “What an exciting time to be working in women’s soccer! I look forward to furthering WIS’ mission; making the industry more equitable and more inclusive one new WIS member at a time.”

And, in the spirit of celebrating achievements, a big shoutout to WIS co-founder Rachel LaSala on her exciting new adventure at our partner org, Ida Sports! We love the extra-special way our network cheers on each other’s success in the industry, and 2024 promises to be nothing short of epic!
