The IFPA Women’s Advisory Board is excited to announce that two new members have joined the board. Jackie Olson, from San Francisco, CA, and Crystal Cory, from Salt Lake City, UT, joined the IFPA as Directors and Board Members in February 2025 and immediately jumped in to support the 2025 IFPA Women’s Championship Weekend in Portsmouth, NH. Jackie is the founder of San Francisco’s Queer Pinball League, and Crystal runs the Wasatch Women’s Series and co-runs the Utah Ballers League.

The IFPA Women’s Advisory Board was founded in October 2019 with the goal of representing the needs and perspectives of women pinball players in IFPA initiatives. The Board currently includes founding members Karyn Kiser, Kim Martinez, and Zoe Vrabel, as well as Samantha Bacon, who joined in November 2023.
