Big shout-out to all 452 who voted for me. That's about 450 more than I expected.

Thanks for taking the risk that 1500 might vote for you, and you'd have to serve.

AWESOME! MORE OF THE SAME :| jeebus.

Mike Solt would have done a killer job. It's a shame he didn't get the votes.

 

[JoakimBL]

Will i don't agree with most of what Shive stands for, I'm actually glad he got voted in again. I appreciate his openness and willingness to communicate with us.

Motion does not pass.

MOTION (Shive)
Starting in January 2014, the PDGA will inform the membership of all TD's who are delinquent in fee payments but are still being allowed to direct tournaments.
The motion does not receive a second and dies.

MOTION (Shive)

Motion does not pass.

There was a useful meeting. :wall:

This is pretty standard for Shive related topics if you look at most BOD minutes.

Very happy that I got over 800 votes, without soliciting. Next time.

nothing wrong with bringing up a motion and it being rejected. Its a tactic to put the other directors on record for their stance on the topic.

For instance, it appears the rest of the BOD isn't concerned with transparency as much as Shive is. As a pdga member, that is a bit concerning.

 

[#19325]

Personally, I am very disapointed about Shive's reelection. A lot of the topics he brings up at board meetings are things that I do not agree with.

Overall, I'm ok with his reelection, just not at the expense of Shawn Sinclair.

I couldn't agree more.

Didn't Shive step down for a position with the PDGA a few years ago during his term?

For instance, it appears the rest of the BOD isn't concerned with transparency as much as Shive is. As a pdga member, that is a bit concerning.

Not nearly as concerning as wanting to make MAJOR adjustments to the org's income figures (lowering sanctioning fees per player, paying TDs) without any plan presented to recoop that income.

I could not find the ballot and the link went to the website that hosted the elections but not to the ballot

I get that but my comment was more directed to the fact that every topic in the meeting was voted down or not even carried to a vote. Just seems a little counter productive.

They sure did vote to approve their next summit though .

The guy who claims the PDGA is nothing but a conspiracy voted for an employee of Innova to be on the BOD?

IRONY.

22.10% of ballots returned, I must say that is quite pitiful

Good to see that Armed Forces Overseas returned 100%....it was only 2 people but even still the fact they could take the time to vote and only 22.10% could take the time out of their day that those 2 fight everyday to protect is a shame and not good for the sport we all love.

I think this representative of how many disc golfers take this sport seriously and if that number is only 22.10% of PDGA members it is more than likely lower among all disc golfers and if this sport is going to be taken seriously as true sport this is something that needs to change.

 

[KnightsDG]

I am disappointed to see David West wasn't elected sounded like a great leader and obviously he's a dedicated life long disc golfer. As a first year voter I had nothing to go off of but their bio's and he was clearly the most qualified to be in a position of leadership. Some of these guys barley wrote anything on their bio's, that's just lazy. Congratulations to the winners and I wish you the best.

It seems less pitiful since, if memory serves, last election was 18%
