When Rebecca Duffy – PDGA #33115 – won the PDGA’s Bob West Memorial Sportsmanship Award in 2009, it placed her squarely on the radar of disc golf’s global governing body. Within a year, former Executive Director Brian Graham recruited Duffy as a PDGA marshal – a volunteer role, but one that would further increase Duffy’s many relationships within the rapidly broadening disc golf community.
In 2011, Duffy was elected to the PDGA Board of Directors – also a volunteer role – and in 2012 she began a term as board president that would last until 2018.
