Can someone point out a document that has been published that lists what the state coordinators responsibilities and duties are.

STATE AND PROVINCE COORDINATORS

The State and Provincial Coordinators represent more than 50 key PDGA
volunteer positions. Each year 50% of US State and Canadian Province
Coordinators are elected. Each member's on-line ballot will only display
the Coordinator race for their home state or province. Here is the list of responsibilities for the SC position:

- Represent the PDGA in a positive light to members, clubs, agencies, and communities in their state or province.

- Work with Tournament Directors and clubs within their state or province and in adjoining areas to schedule PDGA Tour and other disc golf events.

- Serve as state/provincial liaison to the PDGA Tour Manager, in setting the Tour schedule and in addressing and resolving Tour event issues.

- Collect information, either personally or by delegating to individuals or clubs, for the PDGA Course Directory and the Course Evaluation system.

- Promote PDGA memberships, and PDGA programs such as the Affiliate Clubs program, tournament sanctioning, Disc Golf Foundation, and EDGE to the members and potential members in their state or province.

- Provide feedback on the annual Tour Standards to the PDGA Tour Manager

- Coordinate state qualification for events such as the USDGC, USADGC, and other qualified-entry tournaments

- Vote for and recommend candidates for select annual PDGA Awards

- Other duties as determined by the SCs, PDGA Board and staff

Thank you Brian,

That is exactly what I was looking for!

It's not a hard job, except when you try to schedule all the tournaments in Texas

You will get emails and phone calls from all types of people. I usually handed off people from Austin to the Waterloo guys and Houston area questions off to the HFDS guys.

I also got information for people wriiting articles, even did a spot on WFAA channel 8 hear in the DFW area. I called a few disc golfers who own business to show a more professional side and what happened, they showed the late great Gene "Biff" Barfield (owner of a multi million dollar business) waist deep in the lake in Lewisville looking for a $9 disc :D That was classic.

For the most part, I enjoyed doing it. However I was not doing very good personally and had to pass off the job to someone else. Luckly Gary Duke stepped up and is doing a WONDERFULL job. I could not imagine anyone doing better, even myself.

Thanks, but that is clearly overstated.

And thinking of course directories and course evaluations, I've got to track down the registered evaluators and see how they are doing.

Hey all,

As a new state coordinator, I'm wondering if anyone has some "best practices" they'd like to share. The list of responsibilities for the SC position were posted by Brian Graham earlier in this thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has some specific initiatives they've tried out that were successfully received by the disc golf community within their state.

As a start, I�m currently working with 3-time Women's World Champion Des Reading and her husband Jay Reading to arrange disc golf clinics in conjunction with random draw doubles in both the Lehigh Valley area and the Philadelphia area during the first two weeks of September. The Readings will be in the area for a few weeks in between the West Virginia Open at Paw Paw and the Yetter Champion's Cup at Tyler State Park. It will be an excellent chance to learn from the 3-time Women's World Champion and one of the best touring pros in the country.

Anyone have some other ideas on how to serve their constituency?
