The USA Fencing Board of Directors Election is now open.  We urge WFencing members to use their voting power.

Who can vote? All members of USA Fencing who meet the eligibility qualifications to vote should have received emails with voting information.

Why is this important? Board of Directors serve important roles, especially in non-profits such as USA Fencing.  Boards are the “oversight committee” making sure that the legal responsibilities of the organization are upheld and include the duty of care, duty of loyalty, and the duty of obedience which guide their governance, decision-making, long-term strategic planning. 

Why do we care? WFencing is an organization created to grow and support the sport of fencing for fencing community members, including fencing professionals to parents to fencers of all ages, as well as additional supporting members and allies.
