NEW YORK — Nneka Ogwumike was reelected to a fourth term as President of the Women's National Basketball Players' Association (WNBPA) on June 25, 2026. On the same day, Napheesa Collier was elected as the First Vice-President of the WNBPA.
Ogwumike has served as the president of the WNBPA since 2016. Her new term will last three years. Collier also begins a three-year term as First Vice-President, replacing Kelsey Plum, who chose not to run for the position.
Ogwumike has overseen collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations two times during her tenure. The WNBA and its players ratified a CBA in 2020. Another CBA was ratified in March 2025.
Ogwumike commented on her reelection. "Together, we've built one of the most influential unions in sports and we're just getting started," Ogwumike said. "As I begin my fourth term as President and as we enter this historic new chapter under our transformational CBA, I am energized to continue fighting for the players, advancing our collective vision, and ensuring that the generations who follow us inherit an even stronger league and union than the one we have today."
Collier also released a statement regarding her new role. "I believe in the power of collective leadership and the responsibility we have to advocate for every player in our league," Collier said. "The WNBPA has played a critical role in advancing player rights, improving working conditions, and strengthening the future of women's basketball. And I would be honored to help continue that work."
