Gianarrigo Rona is WBF President elect
Gianarrigo Rona of Italy will be the new President of the World Bridge Federation. He will succeed José Damiani of France when he steps down as WBF President at the end of the 2010 World Bridge Series Championships, due to take place in Philadelphia, USA. The election of the new President took place at the WBF Executive Council meetings in São Paulo, so that there will be ample time for the new administrative head of the WBF to prepare for office. José Damiani who has served as WBF President continuously since 1994 (the longest serving President in WBF history), did not run for re-election; he will concentrate on his duties as President of the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA), a post to which he was re-elected earlier this year.
Gianarrigo Rona is a very experienced sports administrator. He was President of the Italian Bridge Federation (FIGB) for 23 years (1986-2009) and is the current President of the European Bridge League (EBL). When his term as EBL President expires in June 2010, he will have served for 11 years. He was instrumental in the Italian Bridge Federation being recognized by CONI (Italian Olympic Committee), and represented associated members to CONI before he was elected on the CONI board in 2005; he was re-elected for another 4-year term in 2009.
