The College Squash Association (CSA) has announced the results of its 2026 Board of Managers elections, welcoming three new Board members and re-electing five current members to new terms. The elections were followed by the approval of a governance amendment that will provide greater flexibility for the Board to grow as the Association continues to expand.

Together, these actions reflect the CSA’s ongoing commitment to building a Board that represents the breadth of the collegiate squash community while positioning the Association for continued growth in the years ahead.

Board Approves Governance Expansion
During its June meeting, the CSA Board of Managers approved an amendment to its governance structure that provides flexibility for the Board to expand thoughtfully over time.

Rather than establishing a fixed number of Board members, the amendment allows future Boards to determine the appropriate size based on the evolving needs of the Association

and the expertise needed to support its mission. At the same time, the amendment preserves key principles of Board representation by requiring that the Board include no fewer than 25% women and 33% Coach Managers.

The change is intended to create opportunities to engage additional leaders from across collegiate squash while ensuring that coaches continue to play a meaningful role in the Association’s governance.

“College squash has benefited tremendously from passionate volunteers who care deeply about the future of our sport,” said Will Carlin, Chair of the CSA Board of Managers. “This change gives us the flexibility to welcome more talented leaders into the conversation, broaden the range of experiences and perspectives represented on the Board, and create additional opportunities for alumni and members of our community to help shape the future of collegiate squash.”

Libby Eynon Welch
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Libby began playing squash at age 11 at the Cincinnati Country Club under the tutelage of Don Mills, igniting a lifelong passion for the game. She won U.S. Junior National titles in the U15 and U19 divisions and represented the United States at the 1991 World Junior Championships in Norway.

At Harvard University, Libby was a four-time First Team All-American and four-time First Team All-Ivy selection. She was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 1992 and Ivy League Player of the Year and Intercollegiate Champion in 1995. She went undefeated in team matches throughout her collegiate career, captained the team as a senior, and helped Harvard win four National Team Championships, four Ivy League championships, and three Howe Cups. She also represented the United States at the 2000 Pan American Federation Cup in Brazil and was inducted into the Harvard Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.

Following college, Libby worked in investment banking and finance at Salomon Brothers, Credit Suisse First Boston, and Trainer, Wortham & Co. She remained deeply involved in squash, serving on the Metropolitan Squash Racquets Association Board, chairing the US Squash Women’s Committee from 2000-2002, and serving on the US Squash Board from 2002-2008. She also directed the women’s Howe Cup in 2004, introducing a doubles division to the event.

As a junior, he won both U.S. and Canadian national singles championships and captained Brunswick School to its first Interscholastic Championship.

After graduating from Williams, Michael worked with the International Crisis Group in New York City and coached varsity and junior varsity squash at Brunswick School. He later earned a master’s degree in International Relations, specializing in Middle Eastern studies, from Boston University before relocating to Colorado, where he has lived for the past 18 years.
