Executive Director of the WMBA. Basketball has always been a strong
passion of mine and I am thrilled to be able to start a new career with
the grassroots level of basketball in Manitoba. My experience working
at Sport Manitoba will aid in the initial transition process. I am
enthusiastic to meet the volunteers who are the backbone of the league.”

have selected Lee Wedlake to join us as our new Executive Director. Lee
brings a vast basketball history, experience with sport administration

years."
