Elevate Disc Golf to New Heights: Join the PDGA Board of Directors Election

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is calling on passionate individuals to take their love of disc golf to the next level by running for a position on the PDGA Board of Directors, PDGA Europe Board of Directors, or State/Canada Coordinator. These roles offer an exciting opportunity for dedicated disc golfers to contribute to the growth and development of the sport at the national and global levels.

The annual elections, taking place online from July 1-31, 2022, will determine the next members of these crucial leadership teams. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, an active member in good standing with the PDGA, and have a genuine interest in shaping the future of disc golf.

Having a Board of Directors is essential for the PDGA's continued success as a nonprofit organization. It ensures that new ideas and perspectives are brought to the table, driving innovation and progress within the sport. The Board allows active members to elect representatives who reflect their needs and concerns, fostering a more inclusive and representative leadership structure.

As disc golf continues to grow in popularity, with over 10,500 courses worldwide and counting, it requires an organized and coordinated effort to maintain its global reach. State/Canada Coordinators play a vital role in supporting the PDGA's mission by working closely with local clubs and players to promote and develop disc golf in their regions.

For those interested in running for a position on the PDGA Board of Directors or State/Canada Coordinator, detailed information about the roles and responsibilities can be found on the elections page. Candidates are encouraged to submit a completed Candidate Biography Questionnaire along with a candidate statement by the specified deadlines: May 31, 2022, for Board candidates; June 14, 2022, for PDGA Europe Board candidates; and June 21, 2022, for State/Canada Coordinator candidates.

To ensure a smooth transition, it's essential to have a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities involved. For those considering a run for office, we recommend reviewing the elections page thoroughly and reaching out to the PDGA office with any questions or concerns.

The following positions are up for election:

* 2 seats on the PDGA Board of Directors

We extend our gratitude to all incumbents who have selflessly contributed their time and energy to the PDGA. Many will be seeking re-election, while others will be running for office for the first time. We look forward to welcoming new faces and perspectives to these leadership roles and working together to take disc golf to even greater heights.
