Greg Easton has been elected the 10th president of World Archery, succeeding Prof Dr Ugur Erdener, with a four-year mandate.
He received 206 votes to the 96 of his opponent, current secretary general Tom Dielen.
“Yesterday I asked you to join me on this journey,” the president-elect said to delegates at the 56th World Archery Congress in Gwangju (Korea).
“I want to thank you for joining me. I think together we can make some great changes here at World Archery and improve our sport, and build on the great foundation that both Tom and Dr Erdener created for us.”
“I would like to thank Tom for all of his service. I don’t think this takes away from all his has done and what he can still do for this sport.”
Easton’s father, James, previously served as president from 1989 to 2005.
Greg’s term officially begins when congress closes.
