WFDF appoints new Executive Director

WFDF would like to announce it’s newly appointed Executive Director, Anne-Marie Carey. She will be taking on the part time position (approximately 20 hours per week) which involves administrative/organizational functions, communications and event management roles with WFDF.

Anne-Marie started playing ultimate in Toronto in 1998, with her first trip to the UPA Championships in 1999. A move the following year brought her to her current home of Vancouver, BC, arguably one of the best places in the world to play and host city to the 2008 WUGC.

She has played a number of WFDF events including 2002 WUCC with Prime, 2004 WUGC and 2005 World Games with Team Canada, and most recently, the 2006 WUCC in Perth with the Vancouver Roughriders.

From an organizational perspective, Anne-Marie was on the Board of Directors of the Vancouver Ultimate League Society for four years from 2000-2004, serving twice as Secretary, and her final year as the President.

For the position of Executive Director with WFDF, she combines this background in ultimate Frisbee with her Bachelor of Human Kinetics and Bachelor of Commerce degrees earned at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada, giving a tailored education geared towards the management of sports organizations.

Communications has been the focus of her career to date, involving Account Manager roles in advertising agencies, and recent professionally geared administrative work in the field of commercial real estate marketing.

It is with great enthusiasm that Anne-Marie embarks on this initial 2 year contracted consultancy, with the hopes of becoming a fixture within WFDF for years to come.
