PDGA Revolutionises Support with Exciting New Staff Appointments

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is continuing its rapid growth trajectory, with a series of exciting new appointments and restructuring initiatives designed to better support its ever-expanding membership base. Over the past 18 months, the PDGA has seen significant increases in active memberships and sanctioned events, leading to a re-evaluation of its organisational structure.

One of the key changes is the rebranding and reorganisation of the 'PDGA Tour' and 'Events' offices into new directorates, with the former becoming known as 'Event Support'. This move aims to improve efficiency and make it easier for members to find the correct office for support. The Event Support team will be led by Andrew 'Big Dog' Sweeton, who has been appointed Director of Event Support after 10 years of service to the PDGA.

To further enhance event support, two new positions have been created within the Event Support Team: Event Support and Training Manager. Todd Lion and Mike 'Sully' Sullivan, both highly experienced professionals with a deep understanding of disc golf, will take on these roles. Amber Schoch has also been appointed as an Event Support Assistant, where she will continue to administer sanctioning processes for tournaments.

In addition to these new appointments, the PDGA has also made significant changes to its accounting and technology departments. Mark Wetherell has taken over as Senior Accountant, while Ben Botto and Mike Crist have joined the technology team as Senior Software Engineers. Their focus will be on enhancing the Digital Scorecard application and improving Tournament Central.

The IDGC (International Disc Golf Center) staff has also seen some changes, with Nate Michalove promoted to IDGC Manager. Patrick Graziani and Nathaniel Samsel have been appointed as IDGC Assistants, where they will work alongside Nate to maintain the high standards of the IDGC property.

Finally, the marketing and media team has welcomed Danny Voss as Director of Marketing, who brings with him a wealth of experience in the field. Matthew Rothstein and Hayden Henry have also joined the team, taking on roles as Media Manager and Communications Manager respectively.

As the PDGA continues to grow and evolve, it is clear that these new appointments and restructuring initiatives will play a vital role in supporting its members and tournament directors. The organisation is committed to continuously assessing its mission requirements and predicting future needs, ensuring that its staff structure remains adaptable and effective in meeting the demands of the sport.

In fact, the PDGA is still not done with its growth plans! Two positions are currently open for hire, and the organisation looks forward to welcoming even more passionate and highly qualified employees to its team.
