The Global Pickleball Federation has appointed Chandler Carney as its Chief Compliance Officer, a new role aimed at bolstering governance as the sport seeks International Olympic Committee recognition. Carney, an at-large board member and practising US attorney, will serve as a non-voting executive committee member overseeing legal, ethical and anti-doping matters. She previously played for Chile's national pickleball team and chairs the GPF Legal Committee. The appointment aligns with requirements for IOC recognition, including membership in bodies like SportAccord and the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations.
