Greg Easton, president and chairman of the board of Jas D. Easton, Inc., has been elected president of World Archery, becoming only the second American to lead the organization.
Easton received a landslide 208 to 96 votes and will succeed outgoing President, Professor Dr. Ugur Erdener, serving a four-year term from 2025 to 2029.
Easton has held key roles on the World Archery Executive Board, served as president of the USA Archery Foundation, and served on the Board of USA Archery and the National Field Archery Association Foundation.
“I am deeply honored to be entrusted with this role and grateful for the confidence of our member associations,” said Easton. “Archery has shaped my life. From competing as an athlete to watching my family’s commitment to its growth and seeing how it inspires discipline, focus and community firsthand. This passion has stayed with me personally and professionally throughout my life. As President of World Archery, I want to ensure that the same sense of opportunity reaches athletes and spectators everywhere.
“Together, we will build on our strong foundation to grow the sport, support athletes and make archery more visible, more accessible and more inspiring for future generations around the world,” he added.
The World Archery Congress, hosted in Gwangju alongside the Hyundai World Archery Championships, provided a forum for delegates from global member federations to vote on executive leadership and determine governance for the coming four years. Easton will officially assume the presidency at the close of the congress, marking the beginning of his service to the global archery community.
