Longtime Charlotte Checkers executive Shawn Lynch has been named as the team’s new president. Lynch will take over the role previously held by Tera Black, who will continue to serve in an advisory role.
She said she looks forward to focusing on life outside the arena. Lynch is the Checkers’ longest-tenured employee, beginning his professional career as an intern with the Checkers in 2003 and progressing through the ranks to most recently serve as Senior Vice President, a role he had held since 2013.
