It is with very mixed feelings that the Board of directors of the Ontario Fencing Association announces the resignation of Kristina Han, our Communications Consultant. Over the past decade, Kristina has touched just about every club, coach, referee and OFA member. In her multiple roles – communications, membership, website, troubleshooting, social media, referee, tournament organizer and more – as well as in her interactions with our internal and external stakeholders, Kristina has been a driving force behind many of our successes.
It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with Kristina over the past ten years. But the time has come for her to apply her academic experience to other initiatives. Although her professionalism, competence, good-humour and wonderful personality will be sorely missed, we whole-heartedly congratulate her on the wonderful new pathway that she is about to undertake.
Although Kristina is leaving the admin side of the organization, she will continue to play a key role on the Officials and Medical Health Committees, in addition to working as one of our valued referees and tournament organisers. Kristina will remain with the OFA until the December AGM. We hope to be able to gather in person at our 2022 Provincial Championships to celebrate her accomplishments and contributions to fencing in Ontario and Canada.
Please join me in thanking Kristina for her colossal contribution to fencing and in wishing her the best of luck in her new adventure.
OFA Board of Directors
