New Faces Elected to PDGA Global Board and Europe Board

The votes are in for the 2017 PDGA Elections, and the results have revealed a slate of new faces ready to take on leadership roles within the organization. The elections took place last month, with voting closing on July 31st. A total of 34,267 ballots were sent out to eligible members, and an impressive 5,244 cast their votes, representing a participation rate of 15.30% of eligible voters.

One key area where new blood is being injected into the organization is on the PDGA Global Board of Directors. Two at-large board member positions were up for election in 2017, currently held by Rebecca Duffy and Robert Decker. The two candidates who received the most votes will secure office and serve three-year terms from September 1st to August 31st, 2020.

The new members joining the Global Board are Dave, a history teacher from Virginia, and Nate, VP of Ledgestone Insurance from Illinois. Their election marks an exciting new chapter for the PDGA as they bring their unique perspectives and skills to the table.

In addition to the Global Board elections, the PDGA Europe Board has also welcomed its first ever elected members. The four candidates who received the most votes will serve three-year terms on the board, representing a fresh start for the European region. They are Natalie, a freelancer from Switzerland; Richard, an Associate Professor of Mathematics from Slovakia; Seamus, a business owner from the UK; and Kajsa, an entrepreneur from Finland.

The PDGA Europe Board is responsible for setting policies, hiring staff, managing finances, and representing the membership's visions for the future. With its new members in place, the board is set to tackle these challenges head-on and drive growth and development in European disc golf.

The elections also saw the State/Province Coordinators re-elected for two-year terms. The PDGA would like to extend a huge thank you to all outgoing coordinators who have dedicated their time to the organization's success. Their hard work has not gone unnoticed, and they will be sorely missed.

As the 2017 PDGA Elections come to a close, we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all members for participating in the democratic process. Your input is invaluable, and your commitment to the sport of disc golf is truly inspiring.
