The role of the Athlete Commission is to communicate the interests of high-performance curlers and to act as the collective voice for those curlers. It works in cooperation with World Curling to achieve its mission.

The Athlete Commission acts as the link between high performance athletes, the Board, the Rules and Competition Commission as well as the IOC Athletes Commission.

The Athlete Commission strives to have diversity among its members. It comprises athletes of both genders and from all curling disciplines – women, men, world rankings mixed doubles and wheelchair.

When elected, members of the commission will serve terms of four year, unless specifically noted in the Commission Terms of Reference.
