Call for 2010 Nominations

By Sally Dixon, Chair, Nominating Committee Wouldn’t it be nice if it only took one woman to make a difference? We join this great women’s golf organization to participate in golf and social activities; all we have to do is sign up and show up. But EWGA is about so much more and it takes a team of leaders to put it all together and make it happen. I invite any member who would like to experience the excitement of participating in the success of the Seattle Chapter now and for the future to consider volunteering for one of the open Board positions. It’s Your Turn to Get Involved! I encourage you to offer your skills, talent and desire to provide support in a leadership position of our Chapter. This is your opportunity to make a positive difference -- do it now! Our Chapter Bylaws call for the membership to elect the Chapter Officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary), and for the Officers to appoint the Committee Chairs. This year we will be electing officers for the following terms of office: - President: 1 year term - Vice President: 1 year term - Secretary: 2 year term An overview of the duties of each office and a nominating form is available on the website. You can nominate yourself or someone else from the membership who you feel would be a great asset to our leadership and foster the growth of our Chapter. Our mission is to provide opportunities for women to learn, play and enjoy the game of golf for business and for life. Being a Chapter Board member or committee volunteer is a meaningful way to contribute to the Chapter decisions and operations and help carry out our mission. Yes, it takes a commitment, but the reward is tremendous! Please consider making a leadership commitment and complete and return the attached nomination form to leadership@ewgaseattle.org by August 15, 2010. Many of us joined the organization without knowing anyone in EWGA. The friendships we have made and the lives we have touched have been amazing rewards for such a minimal contribution. I encourage you to join us in sharing that experience. We encourage golfers of all abilities so that we can connect, learn, play, belong and enjoy the game of golf. It takes volunteers to make that happen ... and to help this chapter remain one of the top in the country. Please consider being a part of the new ideas and commitments for our future. No one can do everything ... but everyone can do something!!!
