New Leaders Elected to PDGA Board Amid High Voter Turnout

The votes have been counted, and the results are in for the 2020 PDGA Elections. This year's participation rate has seen a significant increase, with over 11,800 members casting their ballots - a staggering 22.82% of eligible voters. To put this into perspective, last year's voter turnout was only 12.99%. The increased engagement is a testament to the growing interest in disc golf and the association's efforts to engage its membership.

The PDGA Board of Directors plays a crucial role in guiding the organization's direction and making key decisions on behalf of its members. Comprising at-large board members, this group meets semi-annually and conducts regular teleconference calls to ensure business is conducted efficiently. In 2019, two at-large positions were up for election, currently held by Nate Heinold and David Foss.

Following a thorough voting process, the candidates who secured the most votes have been elected to serve three-year terms on the board. We would like to extend our congratulations to these individuals:

* Nate Heinold, Vice President of Ledgestone Insurance, has been elected to serve another term on the PDGA Board.

* Will Schusterick, General Sales Manager at Prodigy Disc, is also joining the board as a new member.

As part of this year's election process, State Coordinators and Provincial Coordinators were also up for election. These dedicated volunteers play a vital role in promoting disc golf within their regions and contribute significantly to the association's growth. We would like to express our gratitude to outgoing coordinators for their tireless efforts in supporting the PDGA.

We are thrilled to see such high participation rates and look forward to seeing what the future holds for disc golf under the leadership of our new board members. Thank you to all who took part in this year's elections!
