Leadership transition ensures continuity in Board governance and service to Members
FRISCO, Texas — The PGA of America Board of Directors has announced a Board leadership transition following the suspension of President Don Rea, PGA, for the remainder of his term, which concludes in November. Vice President Nathan Charnes, PGA, has been elevated to serve as Acting President, effective immediately.
The Board’s action followed a series of issues over time that, taken together, were determined to be detrimental to the Association.
Charnes will lead the Officers and Board of Directors in carrying out the Association’s governance responsibilities during this transition. Secretary Eric Eshleman, PGA, has been elevated to Acting Vice President and will continue to serve in a dual role as Vice President and Secretary until November, when the Association will hold its Officer elections.
These changes are limited to Board leadership and do not affect the Association’s executive leadership or day-to-day operations.
