Women's Squash Association
The Women's Squash Association (WSA) was the union of all female professional players in squash .
history
In 1984 the organization was founded by 23 members under the name Women's Squash Players' Association (WSPA) in the Belfast Boat Club in Belfast, Northern Ireland . First President was Robyn Blackwood from New Zealand , First Treasurer and General Secretary was Australian Rae Anderson . The first published by WSPA world rankings led Susan Devoy at the top. The headquarters of the WSPA later moved to London, and the name was also changed to the Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA). In 2011 it finally became the Women's Squash Association (WSA). Four years later, under the leadership of Kasey Brown as President and Tommy Berden as Managing Director , the WSA was merged into the Professional Squash Association , until now the association of male professional players, as this step was hoped for better marketing of both tours. The WSA was a member of the World Squash Federation .
