New Leadership Elected to PDGA Board of Directors
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has undergone significant changes to its Board of Directors in the aftermath of summer elections. Two long-time members, Kevin McCoy and Peter Shive, secured new three-year terms starting September 1, 2013, but a surprise twist emerged when Peter Shive announced he would not be taking office.
The Board promptly decided to appoint Shawn Sinclair, who received the third-highest number of votes in the elections, to fill the vacant seat. The decision was made in line with previous protocol, where candidates are appointed based on their election results.
A new development unfolded when Avery Jenkins tendered his resignation, stating that he wished to focus on his game and other initiatives promoting the sport worldwide. In a show of consistency, the Board elected to appoint Dave West, who secured the next highest number of votes in the elections, to fill Jenkins' unexpired term.
The appointments were met with unanimous approval from the Board, ensuring that the choices made by PDGA members were respected throughout the process. The newly composed Board for 2013-2014 consists of seven members: Bob Decker, Rebecca Duffy, Kevin McCoy, Karolyn O'Cull, Rick Rothstein, Shawn Sinclair, and Dave West.
On September 3, during their monthly teleconference, the Board elected its officers for the upcoming year. Rebecca Duffy was unanimously elected as President, with duties including acting as PDGA Commissioner and overseeing all business affairs. She will preside over meetings and sign important documents on behalf of the organization.
Rick Rothstein was elected as Vice-President, assuming presidential responsibilities in the President's absence or incapacitation. He will also perform assigned tasks by the President or Board.
Robert Decker, a certified public accountant, was appointed Treasurer, responsible for managing PDGA funds and performing general duties related to his office.
Kevin McCoy was selected as Secretary, tasked with maintaining meeting minutes, issuing notices, and serving as custodian of corporate records.
The PDGA's Fall Summit will take place from September 23-24 in Portland, Oregon. The event coincides with the U.S. Women’s Disc Golf Championships, and all members are encouraged to attend. The organization expresses gratitude for outgoing members Peter Shive and Avery Jenkins, welcoming Shawn Sinclair and Dave West to their new roles.
