What is GCWBA? GCWBA stands for Greater Cincinnati Women’s Bowling Association and is the organized woman’s group governed by a national organization called United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and by a state organization Ohio Women’s Bowling Association. Previously the national organization for women was called WIBC Women’s International Bowling Congress.
What happened to WIBC? A couple of year ago WIBC and the men’s organization ABC merged into one organization called United State Bowling Congress USBC to simplify duplicate procedures. Their hope is to convince the state organizations and local organizations to do the same thing. Because of the merger, USBC is now part of our organizational name: Greater Cincinnati United States Bowling Congress Women’s Bowling Association. To simplify the length we use the initials: GC USBC WBA.
