WPRA BOARD ANNOUNCEMENT
Over the past 5 years, the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association has proudly partnered with rodeo committees to include breakaway roping in professional rodeos across North America. In that time, we have gone from sanctioning 50 rodeos in 2020 to 450 rodeos in 2024 and continue to see growth. The WPRA has also worked hard to bring breakaway added money to match those of the other rodeo events and will be putting up equal sponsor money at each circuit finals this year to align with the barrel racing.
In 2023, a second Roping Director was added to the WPRA Board of Directors to support breakaway rodeo approval growth and breakaway member representation. Today, the WPRA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the addition of a third Roping Director into the upcoming 2026 election process.
After reviewing many options to best serve the membership and rodeo numbers, the roping directorships will be spread between an Eastern, Western and Central Region Roping Director.
-
- The Eastern Roping Director will cover Great Lakes, First Frontier and Southeastern Circuits
- The Central Roping Director will cover Badlands, Prairie, Texas and Montana Circuits
- The Western Roping Director will cover Columbia River, California, Turquoise, Wilderness and Mountain States Circuits
