The PDGA Europe Board of Directors is set to welcome new faces this year as four passionate disc golf enthusiasts throw their hats into the ring. The election will take place throughout July, with three at-large Board member positions up for grabs. The candidates have diverse backgrounds in both professional and personal capacities, ensuring a fresh perspective on the sport's growth and development.
Christer, one of the contenders, boasts an impressive 20-year career spanning golf course management to IT project leadership. His adaptability and commitment to excellence have earned him recognition within the industry. With over two decades of experience under his belt, Christer is confident in his ability to bring people together and drive success. He credits his diverse skillset to his journey as a Course Manager, where he implemented innovative strategies to enhance the overall quality of the golfing experience.
Disc golf has been an integral part of Christer's life since 1983, with numerous national and European championship titles to his name. His passion for the sport is evident in his dedication to creating a fulfilling professional life centered around disc golf. He believes that his extensive experience as a Course Manager and Project Manager will enable him to effectively lead the PDGA Europe Board.
In contrast, another candidate, whose name has been withheld due to lack of information about their consent to share their personal data, has also been involved in various aspects of disc golf. With over 30 years of experience working with events and marketing, they have a deep understanding of the industry's inner workings. Their role as Vice President on the PDGA Europe Board and Country Coordinator for Norway has provided them with invaluable insight into the organization's priorities and challenges.
Their passion for disc golf was sparked in 2014 through work, where they quickly became hooked on the sport. This enthusiasm led to their involvement with local clubs, including serving as a board member and president. Their extensive experience working within the national federation has also equipped them with the skills necessary to drive growth and success within PDGA Europe.
Two other candidates are vying for positions on the Board: one with 30 years of sales experience and another with a background in transcription work. While they may not have the same level of professional expertise as their counterparts, their love for disc golf is evident in their commitment to organizing events and working behind the scenes to promote the sport.
The election will take place throughout July, with voting open to all PDGA Europe members. The successful candidates will serve three-year terms from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. With a diverse range of skills and experiences on offer, it's clear that each candidate is well-equipped to contribute to the growth and development of disc golf in Europe.
