Under Squash News is the full article regarding this appointment. 
Here are a few paras which impress me greatly. The link to WSF.

"As Director of Sport, Ms Wooldridge has overall responsibility for strategic and business planning for University Sport Birmingham (USB), leading an organisation comprising £3.5million turnover, including a staff of 150, including coaches/instructors, serving 10,000 members (students, staff & community).  Squash is one of 12 focus sports within a broad multi-sport environment covering all levels of participant from entry/beginner level to world class performers.

“I'm taking on the ES Chair with a mixture of excitement and trepidation," said Ms Wooldridge. "The main trigger for me standing for election was that if you really want to make a difference to your own sport, the ultimate challenge and privilege is probably to chair the national governing body!

"Squash must be the most successful British Sport on the world stage, yet has one of the lowest public profiles. We have to be far more strategic and creative to ensure squash’s continued future success, including England’s support for the World Squash Federation’s campaign to get squash into the Olympics. And I’m sure the current Board is really up for that.""

I hope all other world squash organisations get behind this woman and push our game forward.

The person just vacated the chair must have been doing a pretty good job, squash in England looks pretty vibrant.
