Take Control of Disc Golf's Future: Join the PDGA Elections
Date Published
Are you passionate about disc golf and want to contribute to its growth and development? The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is now accepting applications for its annual elections, which will take place in July. This is your chance to get involved with your membership association and help make a difference in the sport.
Two at-large Board members will be elected this year to replace Kevin McCoy and Peter Shive, who are completing their terms on the PDGA Board. The successful candidates will serve three-year terms from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2016. As a member of the PDGA Board, you'll have a significant impact on shaping the future of disc golf, including setting policies, managing finances, and representing the membership's vision for the sport.
Ideal candidates should possess a mix of skills and qualifications, such as management, marketing, financial experience, strategic planning, and non-profit sector expertise. They should also be passionate about disc golf, have strong communication skills, and be familiar with and committed to the PDGA. Honesty, integrity, and a willingness to work hard are essential personal attributes for any prospective Board member.
In addition to the at-large Board members, elections will also be held for state and provincial coordinators in various regions across North America. The candidate who receives the most votes in their state or province will secure office and serve a two-year term from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2015.
State and provincial coordinators play a crucial role in representing the PDGA, working with local disc golf clubs and tour directors to schedule events, and serving as liaisons between the PDGA Tour Manager and local organizers. They must also vote for and recommend candidates for annual PDGA awards.
If you're interested in running for either a Board position or a state coordinator role, please visit the PDGA website (http://www.pdga.com/elections) to learn more about the qualifications, responsibilities, and election process. The deadline for submitting candidate documents is June 7, 2013 for Board candidates and June 21, 2013 for state coordinators.
