New Leaders Elected to PDGA Board of Directors

The votes have been counted in the 2019 PDGA Elections, and the results are now official. The elections took place last month, with voting ending on July 31st, and a total of 44,780 eligible members received ballots. Of these, 5,817 members cast their votes, representing a participation rate of 12.99% of eligible voters.

The PDGA Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the association, with semi-annual summit meetings and regular teleconferences to ensure that business is conducted efficiently. Two at-large board member positions were up for election this year, currently held by Elaine King and Trevor Harbolt. The two candidates who received the most votes will take office on September 1st and serve three-year terms until August 31st, 2022.

We are excited to announce that the following PDGA members have been elected to the Board of Directors:

Elaine King, a consultant with a background in pharmaceutical manufacturing quality, has been re-elected for another term. Her extensive experience and expertise will undoubtedly continue to benefit the association.

Laura Nagtegaal, a self-employed individual from The Netherlands, brings a unique set of skills to the board. With a degree in computer science and psychology, she is well-equipped to tackle the challenges facing the PDGA.

The elections also saw the selection of a new member for the PDGA Europe Board of Directors. Tiina Riekkola, a researcher at Neste Oyj from Finland, has been chosen to join the board. Her background in chemistry will undoubtedly be an asset to the association.

In addition to the Global Board of Directors election, the PDGA also held elections for State/Province Coordinators. These individuals play a crucial role in representing the interests of their respective regions and are elected for two-year terms. The candidates who received the most votes will take office on September 1st.

The PDGA would like to extend its gratitude to all outgoing State/Province Coordinators for their dedication and service to the association. Their hard work and volunteer efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we appreciate everything they have done for disc golf.

Thank you to all members who participated in the 2019 PDGA Elections! Your input is invaluable, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for our community.
