Elaine King #3090
Elaine was appointed to a two-year term to add diversity to an all-male Board consisting of US nationals. In accordance with the PDGA bylaws, "A minority of the Board of Directors may be appointed by the Board of Directors in order to fulfill the needs of the Corporation, as determined by the Board, for additional experience and skill sets on the Board of Directors in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Directors." Elaine not only provides female representation on the Board, but as a Canadian national, she also contributes an international perspective to the PDGA Global Board of Directors. Elaine also serves as a Board member on the PDGA Europe Board of Directors and will serve as the liaison between the two Boards. As a multi-crowned World Champion, she brings vast knowledge and expertise that will greatly benefit the PDGA as we adapt to the exponential growth and popularity of disc golf around the world.
