Meet your board members!

Prior to 2022 each state - and in some cases multiple regions within a state - had its own LWC. Beginning in 2022 USAW - our national governing body - elected to create Weightlifting State Organizations. In some cases each state continued to experience no charge while some states were combined into regions.

This lead the path to the creation of our Pacific Northwest Weightlifting State Organization. It is comprised of Alaska, Oregon and Washington states.

There are 9 volunteer board members - representative of all three states - that guide the PNW WSO and it’s interactions with USAW along with growing the sport within the region.

We’re proud to introduce each of them, in an upcoming series, to convey approachability, community and transparency within our WSO. Please feel free to give each of them a follow and contact them with questions.
