The 2010 PDGA elections took place from July 1 – July 31 and have now been completed. 13,676 ballots were sent out to eligible members with 3,094 members voting, representing a participation rate of 22.6% of eligible voters.
Board of Directors
A Board of Directors is a requirement for non-profit status and is mandated by the PDGA By-laws. The PDGA Board is comprised of 7 elected members each holding two-year terms. Every year, half - in the PDGA’s case 3 or 4 - of the Board positions are up for election. In addition to semi-annual summit meetings, the Board and staff conduct monthly teleconference calls and ongoing communication to accomplish required business.
In accordance with the by-laws, three at-large Board member positions were up for election in 2010. The three candidates who obtained the most votes and who will take office on September 1 are:
Avery Jenkins
Dave Nesbitt
Cale Leiviska
