#WomensWorldOfBackgammon
Be part of the Seat at the Table Inner Circle
"My vision for Women's World of Backgammon is that when I go to compete at the top tournaments, I see women at every table."
-Karen Davis, co-founder, Women's World of Backgammon
​
It will take a village. We know that. We believe that women and those providing services and support for women will join the circle of support for women competing at the backgammon tables.
