World Pulling International (WPI), the operations company of the Ohio-based National Tractor Pullers Association (NTPA), has named Ned Walliser as president of the WPI Executive Board.

Walliser, vice president of competition for the National Hot Rod Association, was elected to a three-year term during the company's annual shareholders meeting last month, the organization said, and will replace Vaughn Bauer, who will serve as vice president.

Additionally, George Everett, a member of the WPI Executive Board since 1997, is leaving his role as treasurer, and Roger Wysong was reelected to a new three-year term as an executive director.
