Lauren Bednar - President
WWVA Board Members
Hello! My name is Lauren and I joined the WWVA board in May of 2026. I have been involved with Spring League as a coach for 4 th and 5 th grade girls for the last three years, allowing me the opportunity to coach my own daughters, now 13, 11 and 8. My objectives for joining the board include building awareness of volleyball opportunities in New Richmond and the surrounding communities, continuing a fair and competitive program and allowing girls the opportunity to try something new.
As a former player myself, I know the impact a great coach can have, and hope to encourage more volunteers, parents and coaches to join the volleyball program in New Richmond. I believe in open communication and transparency and welcome respectful input from the community.
Bailey Enhelder - Vice President
Hello! I’m Bailey, and I have been a resident of New Richmond for the past five years. I am a proud mom of two daughters, one of whom currently plays volleyball, making this organization especially meaningful to me.
My love for volleyball began at a young age, playing throughout middle school and high school, as well as club volleyball with St. Croix Valley JO. Today, I continue to stay involved in the sport by playing in a summer adult co-ed volleyball league and recently completed my second year coaching Spring League volleyball.
I am excited to be a part of the WWVA and to help create a strong foundation where every girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop a love for the game, regardless of her experience level. My goal is to support programs that not only build volleyball skills but also teach the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, dedication, and confidence. I believe volleyball is about more than what happens on the court—it’s about helping young athletes become great teammates, strong leaders, and positive individuals both on and off the court. I look forward to being part of an organization that helps our athletes succeed while fostering a lifelong love for the sport.
Jessica Brotzler - Secretary
Hello, my name is Jessica Brotzler. I am looking forward to serving the WWVA Board as Secretary, where I am committed to fostering strong partnerships among athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, and families. As a parent of two daughters who play volleyball and someone who has assisted with coaching in the past, I have developed a deep appreciation for the positive impact volleyball can have on young athletes. I believe volleyball is more than a sport—it is a platform for developing teamwork, resilience, leadership, and character. With more than 20 years of customer service experience across multiple industries, I understand that timely, accurate, and respectful communication is essential to building trust and strengthening relationships within an organization. In my role, I will ensure that meeting minutes, records, and correspondence accurately reflect our shared mission and remain accessible to all. I am committed to maintaining accurate records, honoring commitments, and ensuring board decisions are thoroughly documented and followed through. This consistency strengthens the credibility of our organization and sets a positive example for our community.
I value the diverse perspectives of board members, volunteers, coaches, officials, and participants, recognizing that inclusive collaboration leads to stronger decision-making and helps the sport evolve in a healthy and sustainable way. My goal is to help facilitate productive discussions, ensure every voice is heard, and keep our focus on what is best for the athletes and the program. By promoting a culture of respect, sportsmanship, and continuous learning, I hope to celebrate successes, learn from challenges, adapt to changing needs, and prioritize the well-being, growth, and enjoyment of everyone involved in WWVA.

Community Outreach Director - Open
Hi! My name is Jess Komro, and I am in my second year serving on the WWVA board as a Member at Large. I’ve lived in the New Richmond community since 2007 with my husband and two kids. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Organizational Communication, a minor in Business Administration, and an emphasis in Human Resources. For over 20 years, I have worked across human resources, training and development, and small business payroll and accounting.
My connection to volleyball is lifelong. I’m a former high school and current adult player, a high school and club parent, and a youth coach (both spring league and high school). This unique blend of professional expertise and deep volleyball involvement allows me to provide versatile support to our board operations. I am incredibly passionate about cultivating volleyball at the youth level, expanding community support, and advancing training programs for both our players and coaches.

Julianna Cain - District Volleyball Liaison
Hi! I’m Julianna Cain. I am the new Head Volleyball Coach for New Richmond and the District Volleyball Liaison for the Western Wisconsin Volleyball Association. Before coaching in New Richmond, I was the Head Volleyball Coach in Clear Lake for two years and an assistant coach for the two years prior to that. I graduated from Clear Lake High School where I was a four-year varsity starter in volleyball, basketball, and softball. After graduating and having the opportunity to volunteer as a coach, I realized that it was my passion and decided to pursue coaching instead of collegiate athletics. I began coaching while earning my degree in accounting. Coaching continues to be one of my biggest passions in life. I live in the area with my husband Marshall and our dog and horses. I currently work at a local, family business. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing competitive volleyball, working out, riding horses, and reading.
I could not be more excited to be part of the WWVA! I am a firm believer in the fact that a successful youth program is the key to a successful high school program. Creating a successful K-12 volleyball program is my goal. I want every female athlete in the community to have the opportunity to play the game of volleyball, grow to love the game, and be given the tools to be successful on and off the court. My hope is that every member of the volleyball program will leave with great experiences playing volleyball to their full potential that will prepare them for their future. I have a deep love and knowledge of the game and I am very excited to share it with the student athletes. I am excited to be a part of the WWVA as it moves forward to grow the game of volleyball and develop the players, coaches, and members alike.
