The Commission’s four-year term came into effect on Saturday 25 November on the sidelines of the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships 2017 in Ulsan, Korea. As there were only five nominees, there was no need for voting and they automatically became Commission members.


The Commission’s role is to:


• Liaise with players, organise players meetings at tournaments and canvas their views and opinions on rules and regulations, development and direction of para-badminton;


• Represent the views of para-badminton athletes at BWF Para-Badminton Commission meetings


• Report back to the players on outcomes of meetings and representations made at the BWF Para-Badminton Commission meetings.


Two representatives from the BWF Para-Badminton Athletes’ Commission will sit on the BWF Para-Badminton Commission. The latter is distinct from the BWF Para-Badminton Athletes’ Commission.


The BWF Para-Badminton Commission provides expert advice to the BWF on the training, development and competition needs of those participating and competing in para-badminton.
