New Leaders Elected as PDGA Members Overwhelmingly Participate in 2016 Elections
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has announced the results of its 2016 elections, marking an important milestone in the organization's governance structure. The elections, which took place last month and concluded on July 31st, saw a significant turnout from eligible members.
A total of 28,566 ballots were sent out to PDGA members with voting rights, and an impressive 4,412 individuals cast their votes. This translates to a participation rate of 15.44% of eligible voters, demonstrating the association's commitment to democratic governance.
One of the key aspects of the elections was the selection of new Board of Directors members. In accordance with the PDGA bylaws, two at-large positions were up for election in 2016. The candidates who secured the highest number of votes will serve three-year terms on the Board from September 1st, 2016 to August 31st, 2019.
The successful candidates are Kevin McCoy and Shawn Sinclair, who have been elected to join the PDGA Board. This new leadership team will play a crucial role in shaping the organization's policies and initiatives, with regular summit meetings, teleconference calls, and ongoing communication with staff helping them stay connected and informed.
In addition to the Board of Directors elections, State/Province Coordinators were also up for election. These volunteers represent over 50 key positions within the PDGA, each serving a two-year term. The candidates who secured the most votes will take office on September 1st, as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen local support and engagement.
The PDGA would like to extend its gratitude to outgoing State/Province Coordinators for their dedication and service to the organization. Their efforts have been instrumental in promoting disc golf and supporting the growth of the sport, and their contributions will not be forgotten.
Thank you to all members who participated in the 2016 PDGA Elections!
