The 2008 PDGA election for Board of Directors has begun. If you are an active member of the PDGA (current on dues) you are eligible to vote. You can more info on the election from the main page of the PDGA site or by clicking on their “vote” image (
www.pdga.com).
Please note that that there are a couple of “local” folks running this year. Ray Murray lived in Austin for many years (and Lubbock before that) and is now living in Plano. He’s been playing disc golf for a long time (over 15 years) and also was a Board Member of Waterloo Disc Golf Club for several years until he had to move away from Austin. Pat Brenner lives in Arlington and has also been active in our sport for a good while (playing for just over 10 years). He is just finishing up his first term on the Board and is running for re-election. Both Ray and Pat are very active on the PDGA DISCussion Board; their handles are:
Ray: Prairie_Dog
Pat: sandalman

PLEASE BE SURE TO VOTE!
You have probably received your electronic ballot by now, here is what the PDGA site says:
During the first week of June all current members for whom the PDGA has an email address on file will receive an email from vote-now.com with their PDGA online election instructions including their individual ballot passcode. All members whose email bounces back or who do not have an email address on file, will be mailed a postcard by vote-now.com with their on-line ballot instructions and passcode. On or about July 10, all members with valid emails who have not yet voted will be sent a voting reminder. Those members who do not have any access to a computer or internet capability will also be able to contact the PDGA office and request a mailed paper ballot. Provided this request is received by the PDGA no later than July 10, a ballot will be mailed to the member.
