World Netball (WN) today held its virtual Congress 2025, with Shirley Hooper re-elected as Vice President (VP).
Hooper was up for re-election for the role, having completed her first term of four years, and was running alongside second candidate Kate Palmer AM.
Both candidates addressed Congress, before voting delegates elected Hooper into the role.
Speaking on being elected Hooper said: “We are at an exciting point in the development of netball across the world in all 76 of our Member countries.
“I hugely appreciate the support from those Members to remain in the role of Vice President and hope to continue to drive this momentum.”
In addition to this, Rob Mills was also re-appointed by Members as WN’s Independent Director.
Mills, who is Director and CEO of Tenka, a global sport and entertainment consultancy, was first appointed as WN Independent Director for an initial term of four years at Congress in 2021 and has now been appointed for a second term of four years.
