–– AUGUST 2021 ––

CHAPTER ELECTIONS ARE HERE Please help shape the future of our Chapter

We have many capable and willing members who have the skills, talent, and desire to serve on the leadership team of our Chapter. This is your opportunity to make a positive difference – nominate yourself or someone else for a Chapter Board position.  

“The amazing events and opportunities provided by the Organization and Chapter all come together because of wonderful members who volunteer for the Board and committees. I felt I should give back to this great Chapter for all it has given me. I decided to serve on the Board as the Golf Events Director four years ago. My time in that role and as President has been incredible. This Chapter has wonderful leadership, members and momentum to continue to be the best Chapter ever.”

– Lisa Papes LPGA Amateurs Dallas Chapter President

The Board positions are set up in staggered rotation which prevents the entire Board turning over in the same year. This year we will be electing the following: President: 1-year term Member Recruitment Director: 2-year term Golf and Events Director: 2-year term Golf Programs Director – 2-year term Finance and Records Director: 2-year term

The Nominating Committee is comprised of Maribeth Fletcher, Sonja Jackson and Courtney Skene-Hamilton.  Please watch for an email coming shortly providing more details about the positions and a form for you to nominate YOURSELF or someone else for a position.
