Regional Representatives

Post by smitty »

The KDGA is looking for motivated individuals to take the positions of Regional Representatives. We are going to try and use an election process this year, instead of just appointing someone the job. In the past this job has just been little more then a title. Starting in the 2010 season this job is going to be very instrumental in making the KDGA run smoothly. Mace, Hopper, and myself feel like we shouldn't be the only people responsible for making decisions for the KDGA and all of its members.

Duties of the Regional Representatives:
1) Promote the KDGA at as many events in their region as possible.
2) Vote representing their region at KDGA board meetings.
3) Collect registration for new members in their region.
4) Distribute KDGA membership packages to members in their region.
5) Collect and deposit KDGA fees from events in their region.
6) Find ways to keep KDGA members of their region involved in KDGA tourney play.
7) Moderate all forum threads with in region.
8) May have other KDGA duties as the year progresses.

Qualifications:
1) Must be a current KDGA member.
2) Must have been a member the previous year.
3) Must live in the region you are running to represent.

If you would like to be considered for this position. Please submit a short letter of interest to me via a PM or using kansasdiscgolf@hotmail.com.

After receiving your letter of interest I will post it on the KDGA forum. We will then conduct a vote of our members to elect 5 regional representatives.

Region 1 - Hays, Norton and all the small Western Kansas towns.
Region 2- Topeka, Emporia, KC, Manhattan and much of Eastern Kansas.
Region 3- Salina, McPherson, Beloit and Central Kansas.
Region 4- Winfield, Wichita and South Central Kansas.
Region 5- Newton, Hutch, Pratt and South West Kansas.

REGION 5

Smitty,

I would like to be considered for the position of Region 5 representative for the KDGA. I have been attending tournaments for two years now and understand how much better the KDGA has made disc golf in Kansas. I look forward to the opportunity to promote disc golf in Region 5. Thank you for considering my short paragraph of interest.

REGION 4


To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to submit my candidacy for the running of the Representative for Region 4. I have been a KDGA member 4 out of the last 5 years, and am also a KDGA tournament director. I attend nearly all of the events which are held in my region, and have the people skills necessary to coordinate with and promote these events. I feel that I have a good understanding of how things work with the KDGA, and have some ideas that would be mutually beneficial to Region 4, and the KDGA as a whole.

Thanks for your time,

Chris Tyler

REGION 3


My fellow Kansans,
I would like to submit my name for the region 3 representative. I have been actively involved with the disc golf community for the past 7 years. In the past i have been a competitor, volunteer, club member, co-TD, TD, tourney staff, and league facilitator as well as taking part in past KDGA planning sessions. These experiences have enabled me to see what i can do to help serve the disc golf community.

REGION 1

Hello everyone,

I'd like to be considered as a representative for Region 1. I am very active in the Disc Golf community and have been involved for the past 6 years. I believe I would be a good fit because I am one of the most accessible persons in this part of the state. I have good ideas and believe I can help further the KDGA's goals.

Thanks,
Tracy Ruder

The "original plan" of gathering names to be Regional Representatives has taken a slight change. We planned on collecting names and then having members from the region vote. After spending lots of time trying to get people to throw their names in the hat and having little to no luck, we are simply going to let the people who submitted their names have have the position.

So

Your Regional Reps for the 2010 disc golf season are:

Region 1 Tracy Ruder
Region 2 ??? We had no members with interest in taking the position.
Region 3 Nate Martin
Region 4 Chris Tyler
Region 5 Jeremy Kindy
