The 2018 PDGA Elections have come to a close, with votes counted and results announced. The election process, which took place from June to July, saw a total of 39,899 eligible members receive ballots, resulting in an impressive 6,140 voters, or 15.39% of eligible voters.

The newly elected members will assume their positions on the PDGA Global Board of Directors, which is a crucial part of maintaining non-profit status and is mandated by the PDGA Bylaws. The board meets regularly, including semi-annual summit meetings and monthly teleconference calls, to oversee business operations and ensure the association's continued growth.
