McBeain joined the NWBA National Office staff in 2016, though he has been involved with the NWBA since 2011. In 2023, McBeain was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, where he excelled in ensuring quality financial stewardship, fostering relationships with partners, and enhancing the management of all NWBA programming (e.g., domestic league, national tournaments, high performance program, camps).

Pierre commented, “Brandon has been the heart and soul of our organization for quite some time. We are thrilled to elevate him to this role. His passion for our mission, continuity, and deep understanding of all our stakeholder needs makes him a perfect fit.”

McBeain will lead the NWBA staff and direct the day-to-day operations of the organization, with an emphasis on improving fundraising, strengthening key relationships, fine-tuning organizational effectiveness, providing membership resources, and ensuring excellence in the High Performance Program.

“I am extremely excited to serve the NWBA members and Board of Directors in this new role. I look forward to developing new revenue streams to ensure the financial well-being of our organization. We will continue to focus on initiatives that foster growth and awareness of our great sport by further integrating with key stakeholders of the NWBA,” McBeain said. “I look forward to continuing to cultivate a collaborative culture where the true impact of our efforts will be felt within the Paralympic Movement.”
