This register summarises declared interests for English Disc Golf Association Board and Committee members where publication supports transparency and good governance.
EDGA keeps signed Declaration of Interests forms internally. Full signed declarations are not published because they may contain personal data, signatures, family details or other information that is not required for public accountability.
This register should be read alongside the EDGA Conflict of Interest Policy.
