Why do I want to serve on the Board of Governors: I am running for re-election because I believe strongly in good governance and transparency. The Board of Governors serves the Members of this Club and is responsible to the Members. I will continue to listen to the Members and fight to improve the Board’s communication. Members should have a vote on the club’s decisions, and it is poor governance and undemocratic when the Board fails to let the Members vote on major issues. We have several large, proposed projects such as work on the Arlington golf course, the “Wing” at the Fairfax course, expansion of Stars & Stripes, new or expanded indoor tennis facilities and fitness centers, women’s locker room expansion, and many other proposed projects. The Membership should be informed of the projects the board is considering, and the Membership should be allowed to provide their input in order to prioritize future projects. I have the support of numerous constituencies of our Club to include the military, civilian members, national security professionals, and sons and daughters. After retiring from the Navy, I wanted to continue to serve and work on national security issues. I worked for several years as a National Security Advisor in the U.S. Senate for multiple Senators. I continue to work closely with Congress and the Executive branch as the head of policy at a nonprofit organization dedicated to national security, national service, and veterans’ issues. In addition to my service on the Board, my family and I are active members of the Club with children who participate in many youth activities to include golf, tennis, swimming, and Rainbow City. Our children are frequent participants in the youth sports programs, and our family enjoys the club's many special events and activities. We supported the new aquatics project at Arlington and believe it improved the club's ability to recruit and retain families. I have sponsored several new members each year and will continue to be a champion for ANCC and its mission. Our Club is fortunate to have great professional staff, but also needs Members dedicated to servant leadership to make the club truly successful. I have been an active member of the Board the past five years including serving on the Golf & Greens Committee, Chairman of the Handicap Committee, co-chairman of the Member / Member Golf Tournament Subcommittee, and a member of the Military Initiation Fee Committee. Through my service on the Board and my work on the Golf & Greens Committee, I have a strong relationship with our professional staff and work well as part of a team to achieve results. I am very supportive of our golf Superintendents and support their direction and vision for improving both the Arlington and Fairfax courses. As a member of the Golf & Greens Committee, I have worked hard to support our professional Superintendents to ensure they have the resources and authorities needed to maintain our courses. Both the Arlington and Fairfax courses are in great shape and have the support and leadership to keep our courses to the standard ANCC deserves. Fairfax is in outstanding condition thanks to the hard work of our Superintendent and his staff. Arlington continues to be in excellent
