Nominees for the Board of Governors 2024
Why do I want to serve on the Board of Governors: During my term on the Board of Governors, I have come to appreciate the complexities involved in the governance and day-to-day operations of one of the largest country clubs in the nation. Among those complexities is the need to provide members with the best information available about how we – together – can shape the future of Army Navy. Over the past two years, I have been an active member of the Planning Committee and am fully committed to making the Strategic Plan that the membership endorsed during the 2023 Annual Meeting a living document that helps the membership make informed decisions over the coming years. To fulfill that obligation, the Planning Committee will compile a Facilities Master Plan that should provide a multi-year view of what the club needs to do (and spend) not only to take care of our wonderful facilities but also to provide ideas to membership for ways to make the club better. My desire in running for re-election is to remain fully engaged in this process. In 2023, I participated in preparing the Strategic Plan for publication, raising issues regarding how best to express the purpose and need for some of the initiatives included in the plan. Also in 2023, I was an active member of the Fitness & Wellness Ad-Hoc Committee, which was stood up to address whether the program was meeting the needs of the membership. The committee developed a strategy for the Fitness program based on the results of the 2022 membership survey, which found a desire for improved facilities and programming. The club started to address these areas immediately with updated cardio equipment and more fitness classes and services, all of which enjoy solid member participation. A friend graciously described me once as a voice of reason during fraught times. I try to live up to that description on every issue and vote put before the Board of Governors.
