The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) has launched a call for candidates to fill 36 State and Provincial Coordinator positions across the United States and Canada. If you're passionate about disc golf and want to contribute to its growth and development in your region, this may be an opportunity for you.
State and Provincial Coordinators play a vital role in helping the PDGA achieve its goals. They represent key volunteer positions that are essential to the smooth operation of the organization. Each year, half of the U.S. State and Canadian Province Coordinator positions come up for election, with elected members serving two-year terms. This means that only those states or provinces not listed below will be up for election in 2024, but they'll have their chance in 2025.
The responsibilities of a State and Provincial Coordinator are diverse and varied. They include:
* Representing the PDGA in a positive light to members, clubs, agencies, and communities within their state or province.

* Providing feedback on the annual Tour Standards to the PDGA Event Support Team.
* Coordinating state qualifications for events like the USDGC and USADGC.
* Recommending candidates and voting for select annual PDGA awards.
To be eligible, candidates must submit a completed Candidate Biography Questionnaire along with a candidate statement by June 20, 2024. The suggested format for candidate videos is three-to-five minutes long, in which they introduce themselves and outline one or more primary goals of their participation as a PDGA State/Provincial Coordinator.
