Vice President
- Jayann Majewski
Hi, my name is Jayann Majewski. I initially joined a “learn to play pickleball" clinic at Bourkevale community centre in the Spring of 2021. I was instantly hooked and have played 2-3X/week(or more) ever since. I really appreciate and enjoy the social aspect of the game, and l've made many friends along the way while improving my PB skills at the same time.
I would like to become more involved in the WWPB club by running for the VP position. l am a retired Dental Hygienist. My husband and I owned a dental practice for 30 years where I was his dental hygienist, but I also did the office bookkeeping, and was involved in office personnel management.
We recently sold our business so now I have time to learn the ropes of how WWPB is run, and to offer my help in keeping the club fun and competitive.
I have volunteered at various events, and been on many committees throughout the different stages of my life.
I was on my high school’s social and sports student councils, and was president of my HS Grad (and involved in all three of my daughter's Grad committees). I was also a volunteer leader with Girl Guides of Canada for many years.
My main goal would be to help balance skill development and the social aspect of Pickleball.
Thanks
Jayann
