When two historic gender-based college athletic associations decided it was time to merge, solid was there to help.
solid was engaged to design change process and facilitate merger discussions between the Women’s College Squash Association (WCSA) and the Men’s College Squash Association (MCSA) in 2016. The now-unified College Squash Association (CSA) is the governing body overseeing men’s and women’s intercollegiate varsity squash in the United States.
The merger process included deep review and understanding of each organization’s mission, culture, background and vision for the future, interviews with key leaders from both associations, design and facilitation of a summit meeting of leaders and presentation of findings, post-summit discussion and final recommendation work with CSA leadership. This work culminated in the 2017 merger of the WCSA and MCSA as they dissolved as independent organizations and then reformed under a single organization, the Intercollegiate Squash Association, doing business as the CSA.
solid provided process design and facilitation services for the WCSA and MCSA that culminated in a successful 2017 merger as the College Squash Association.
