Hans Nagtegaal Resigns from PDGA Global Board for New Challenges

A significant development has taken place within the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), as Hans Nagtegaal, Interim PDGA Europe Administrator, has announced his resignation from the PDGA Global Board of Directors effective August 1, 2017. This decision comes after a thorough evaluation of Nagtegaal's priorities and responsibilities.

As an esteemed member of the PDGA Board since May 2015, Nagtegaal played a pivotal role in driving the organization forward during its period of unprecedented growth and increasing popularity. His tenure has been marked by significant contributions to the sport's global expansion, particularly through his collaboration with Brian Hoeniger, PDGA's International Director.

In October 2016, Nagtegaal was appointed Interim PDGA Europe Administrator, a position that allowed him to devote more time and energy towards developing the new entity. As the first stage of this project came to fruition with the recent election of the PDGA Europe Board of Directors, Nagtegaal felt compelled to focus his attention on nurturing PDGA Europe's growth.

In a statement, Nagtegaal expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve on the PDGA Board and acknowledged the pain of leaving behind an organization that has been dear to him. He emphasized that his true passion lies in cultivating new initiatives and watching them flourish, which is why he chose to prioritize PDGA Europe's development.

As Interim PDGA Europe Administrator, Nagtegaal will continue to be closely involved with the growth and success of the sport, albeit in a different capacity. The PDGA is now exploring options for filling the vacancy left by Nagtegaal's resignation, ensuring continuity and stability within the organization.

The entire PDGA community has been invited to extend their appreciation to Hans Nagtegaal for his dedicated service and wish him continued success as he embarks on this new chapter in developing PDGA Europe.
