Our Ambassadors

To help promote the Year of Women's Squash, we have appointed five ambassadors for the campaign.

Current Commonwealth Games gold-medal winners Joelle King and Jaclyn Hawkes are helping to promote the campaign to encourage more girls and women to take up the sport, along with former World Champion Dame Susan Devoy. Susie Simcock, former World Squash President and advocate for women in sport, is also pleased to come on board as an ambassador and would like to see more women as administrators in the sport, particularly on club committees. Megan Craig is the current NZ Junior national champion and is just beginning her professional squash career.
