Take Your Passion to the Next Level: Join the PDGA Board and State Coordinators
Date Published
Are you a dedicated disc golfer looking for a new challenge? Do you want to be part of shaping the future of your favorite sport? If so, now is the time to take your passion to the next level. The annual elections are just around the corner, and we're calling on all interested individuals to step up and run for a spot on the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) Board or as a State Coordinator.
The PDGA Board of Directors plays a crucial role in governing our sport, ensuring that it continues to grow and thrive. With two open slots available, this is an incredible opportunity for enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to make their mark. But why is having a board so important? Simply put, it allows for new people to be elected into office by their constituents – active PDGA members like you. This process brings fresh ideas, proposals, and analyses from diverse perspectives, enabling the sport to evolve and improve.
But the PDGA Board isn't the only way to get involved. State Coordinators are also a vital part of our organization, working closely with local clubs and players to maintain and govern the vast landscape of organized disc golf. With 31 positions up for election, there's never been a better time to take on this exciting challenge.
So what does it take to run for office? If you're interested in joining the PDGA Board or becoming a State Coordinator, simply visit our elections page for more information. Download and complete the Candidate Biography Questionnaire, and don't forget to produce a 3-5 minute video showcasing your ideas and personality. This will give fellow players and voters a chance to get to know you better.
The deadline for submitting candidate materials is June 8th for Board candidates and June 22nd for State Coordinators. We can't wait to see the new faces that join us this year!
