Hi all,

.

We are very happy to announce that our team is growing! In the first board meeting of the year, we started thinking about how to implement new projects and improve things in our sport.

In order to keep up the existing work of the FPA and open new chapters, the Board of Directors has unanimously voted to appoint two new directors that will help us spread the jam even more.

.

Charlene Powell has been appointed as our Diversity Director. Charlene will be leading a team that will help us ensure that our sport is inclusive to everyone. It will also assist in taking care of and improving FPA’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

_______Charlene Powell

Here are a few words from Charlene:
“Thanks to the FPA for this opportunity. I look forward to working with members worldwide to connect and talk with you, gain insight, and build initiative for greater diversity in our organization. I believe it is important to our current reality and our future to ensure all members feel psychologically safe and welcome in a healthy global community based on respect and accountability for our words and actions with each other.

Diversity honors the varied characteristics that make each of us unique human beings, such as age, gender identity, race, abilities and disabilities, ethnicity, religion, and physical characteristics such as style, height and weight.

As we move forward, joining together, I envision that we will have chances to learn healthier ways to relate to one another as we uphold Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion throughout the FPA.”

________James Wiseman

.

James Wiseman has been appointed as a Project Director. James will be taking on projects that do not belong in any other board position.

.

Please give a very warm welcome to Charlene and James as they join the Board of Directors of the FPA!

Edo & Freddy
