The 2010 Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) elections are now underway, giving members a crucial opportunity to shape the direction of their beloved sport. The voting period, which began on July 1, will conclude on July 31, with newly elected candidates assuming office on September 1, 2010.

With a wide range of talented individuals vying for positions, members are encouraged to take an active role in shaping the sport they love.
The PDGA Board of Directors is comprised of seven elected members, each serving two-year terms. Three at-large Board member positions will be determined in this year's election, with the three candidates receiving the most votes securing office. Terms for these new Board members will run from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2012.
In addition to the Board elections, State/Province Coordinators are also up for election. These dedicated volunteers play a vital role in promoting disc golf within their respective regions and coordinating events such as the USDGC and USADGC. With over 50 key volunteer positions available, members are encouraged to consider running for one of these crucial roles.
The voting process is conducted entirely online at http://www.vote-now.com/, with all current members receiving an email containing their unique ballot passcode. Members without access to a computer or internet capability can request a mailed paper ballot by contacting the PDGA office before July 17.
