Seeking Board Nominations!

Dear Whitevale Members, 

Our Nominating Committee is diligently interviewing a roster of candidates for the Whitevale Board of Directors . This year, four Directors are finishing their terms. We are therefore seeking to fill four vacancies. Our nominating committee will recommend a slate to be approved by the current Board before being presented to the membership.

• Directors, attend and participate in Board Meetings, regular Committee Meetings as well as other task specific related activities.
• Directors also work specifically with other Directors reviewing directions, policies and procedures that govern the organization.
• Directors listen to members concerns and suggestions.
• Directors review reports from operational staff in conjunction with the Director of Finance ensuring that the Club's finances are on budget and propose remedial action when required.
• Directors monitor the overall health of the golf club and discuss and advise on issues or situations when necessary.
• Directors remain knowledgeable about the golf industry by familiarizing themselves with articles and reports related to the golf industry.
• Board work begins immediately after the Annual General Meeting.

One of the most positive things that emerged during last year's discussions with candidates was discovering the wealth of skills and talents our members possess - and, their eagerness to share these skills with the Board for the benefit of the club. Corporate leadership, volunteerism, achievement in business, education, sport, family and community involvement were just some of the skills last year's candidates brought to the table. And of course, a genuine love of Whitevale. Some cited a desire to give back, many having been members for a long time and been unable to commit in the past. The upside is, Whitevale will benefit from the fresh energy, skills and perspectives the four incoming Directors will bring.

As previously communicated the Nominating Committee is comprised of the following members : Michelle Miles , Jacquie Dunne , Wade Brackenbury & Padraig Darby. If you have interest in learning more about what is involved, please contact myself or Bob Tennyson, or any one of the individuals on our nominating committee.
