Val Ackerman resigned as president of the WNBA, a position she has held since the league started in 1996.

Ackerman's move, announced Thursday, will take effect in February.

"The past eight years have required much sacrifice in my family life, and at this juncture it is my profound desire to devote myself more fully to the lives and activities of my daughters," Ackerman said.

She joined the NBA as an attorney in 1988, and served as a special assistant to commissioner David Stern. She later became the league's vice president of business affairs.

The WNBA began with eight teams in 1996 and had as many as 16 in 2002 before three teams folded in the last two years. Ackerman recently said the league hoped to add another team in the next two years.

She'll lead the search for her successor.
"Val's contributions to the women's sports movement have been monumental," Stern said.
