Get Involved in Disc Golf Governance - Election Season is Here!
Date Published
Are you passionate about disc golf and want to take your involvement to the next level? The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is seeking dedicated individuals to fill positions on its Board of Directors and as State Coordinators. As a governing body that oversees the growth and development of the sport, the PDGA relies on volunteers who share its vision for disc golf's future.
The annual elections are approaching quickly, with online voting set to take place from July 1-31, 2018. Three positions are available on the PDGA Board of Directors, while 29 State Coordinator roles will also be up for election. The successful candidates will begin their terms on September 1, 2018.
But why is governance important in disc golf? Having a Board of Directors allows for new ideas and perspectives to be brought into the sport, driving innovation and growth. The PDGA's nonprofit status requires a governing body to oversee its operations, ensuring that resources are used effectively and responsibly.
At the local, regional, national, and international levels, organized disc golf relies on a network of State Coordinators who work closely with clubs and players to maintain course directories, promote events, and provide support. With over 7,000 courses worldwide, the PDGA's governing structure is essential for its continued success.
If you're interested in running for a position or know someone who might be a great fit, we encourage you to explore the opportunities available.
