Becoming More Member-Centric
By Lyn Nelson, CEO/Executive Director The golf course reno-
vation project for Poppy Hills is progressing nicely, with the permit offi cially submitted for review. The permit processes can be complicated, especially in the coastal zone where Poppy Hills is located. We should hear back from the planning department in mid-July for feedback on the project to
determine our next steps. Members can keep up-to- date on the project via
ncga.org. Speaking of members. . . I am pleased to announce a new addition to the NCGA staff, Jeff Burgess. Jeff ’s title is director of operations and membership programs. His primary focus is to engage and assist in all areas of
membership growth and retention to improve the services and benefi ts of being an NCGA member. We are fortunate to have him join our team. To support Jeff ’s efforts,
we have restructured and added two employees to this department to provide better service for our members and member clubs. This restruc- turing is not adding more overhead, it is taking the exist- ing staff and making it more member-centric. Why? Be- cause we need to assist clubs in recruiting more members and one of the ways of doing that is by providing a “tool kit” full of great ideas on tourna- ment formats, communication ideas and ways to promote your clubs to prospective members in your area. Don’t be too surprised if
you are a club administrator and your phone rings. . .we will soon reach out to you for feedback on how we can be a better partner in growing your club and will solicit ideas that will help improve our support of your efforts. If you would like to offer suggestions, please do so by e-mailing me at
lnelson@ncga.org. We have several new
programs under development that we will launch this fall through the spring of 2012 that we hope you will enjoy. The intention is to make your “Green go Further” and to enhance the enjoyment of the game.
Golf is fun, healthy, social and meant to be shared. Enjoy!
