Private golf clubs in Scottsdale Annual Meeting

It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of the winter season at   the Scottsdale private golf course with the warm temperatures that we are seeing throughout the past few weeks.  As you can imagine, this only helps increase the level of member participation in all areas of the Scottsdale private golf course It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Club’s annual meeting last month. For those of you who couldn’t be there, I’d like to share the results of our recent election and to welcome this year’s Scottsdale private golf course Board of Directors. We have two new directors joining the board this year: Allan MacDonald and Jim Patterson who have all been elected to three-year terms.    For the coming year, your Club President will be Alan Sears who served as your Vice President this past year.  Alan is very familiar with the Club governance and is committed to the following goals in 2019:

-Given the strong recent results of the Scottsdale private golf course operation, keep “what works working” - cash flow in balance and membership full.  We don’t want to just protect values, we want to constantly enhance the member experience and opportunities.

-To successfully complete and open Private golf clubs in Scottsdale  , Phase II with required new processes and operations adjustments with excellence.

 -To review & update with full participation and feedback from every class of membership at Private golf clubs in Scottsdale    the current Strategic Plan. Discerning what you, your families, and the next generation of families and members desire and need through surveys and focus groups, etc.
