The Athlete Commission Chair and membership will be decided later in 2018.

World ParaVolley President Barry Couzner said: "This represents a nice balance of refreshment and experience as we have a continuation of some existing chairs, and the appointment of some new chairs - a great outcome as we plan for the future for our athletes."

World ParaVolley believes the interest in the positions represents a real desire to assist in the organisation and management of the sport.

The Commission chairs will be expected to hold regular meetings with Commission members to focus on developing World ParaVolley and improving global communication and collaboration in the sport.

The Commissions will use online technology to discuss critical projects with their global members.
