Meet Our 2021 Chapter Board
Thank you to these Members who stepped up to take on these positions. Their goals are to continue to move this organization forward and nurture friendship though golf and social events. (Dates indicate year they joined the Chapter)
President Janette Schull (2014)
2020 saw a reinvigoration in golf. My vision is to continue that momentum, introduce more women to the game, offer members more golf opportunities to improve their game, be more comfortable playing with others and to play competitively in a fun, friendly and 'safe' environment. "I learned to play golf as a child in Michigan and now it's almost as much fun as my adorable grandson!"
Social Director Sheila Mullen (2015)
My goal is to engage and connect our Members all year long through social events, in person and on Zoom. "Since retiring in 2018, golf has been my passion and this year my lifesaver"
Marketing Director Jeri Meola (1998)
Our team goal is to put in place streamlining so we have great Member communication, increased sponsorships and wider community awareness. "I'm so passionate about the game of golf, I named my company EGL ACE Research!"
Finance Director Kathy McCray (2007)
My goal is to ensure National compliance, record retention and oversee the Chapter budget. Currently transitioning finances to the new Billhighway management platform. "I recently joined the unemployed, so surviving the pandemic includes walking 15 miles a week, reading, movie binging and Zooming with friends"
Golf Director Terry Fraser (2000)
To create exciting golf opportunities for all Members and maintain our successful league schedule." My sons tease me I play the worst golf on the best golf courses".
Membership Director Laurie Stanek (2018)
To increase retention, insure new Members feel welcomed and always search for ways to grow the Membership. "My husband and I now winter is Arizona so my golf skills should improve - hopefully!"
