Message From the President
Greetings LGCC members ,
I hope this note finds you well . Your board has been hard at work throughout the month of January in an effort to set the stage for a successful 2021 ahead . We held a half-day planning session on January 23rd , and left the meeting with a central focus on the following tenants , which we endeavor to accomplish in conjunction with our management team :
• We must enhance communication and increase transparency to our members
• We must institute a sustainable financial plan
• We must continue to place absolute focus on putting our members first – This includes giving members an avenue to voice suggestions , concerns , and opinions
– This also includes providing programming , events , and service offerings to maximize member engagement and return on investment
Though lofty goals , we see the tenants above as our commitment to you as well as to our beloved club . So , where do we go from here to accomplish these goals ? Well , it starts with the continuation of our monthly member newsletter which will continue to develop and expand as we move forward . We are also working with our management team to develop our marketing and communication plans , both internally amongst our members as well as externally in the community in an effort to grow the club ’ s presence and attract new members . More to come regarding these marketing efforts in next month ’ s newsletter .
Next , your Social & Membership committee has produced comment cards which will be made available throughout the club to solicit your feedback . We strongly encourage you to fill these out as you use the club to ensure we monitor and enhance member experiences as well as the club ’ s offerings . The committee is dedicated to reviewing the feedback and immediately responding to members when necessary . Whether kudos for a great experience or suggestions for improvement , all responses will guide management ’ s direction and focus on an ongoing basis .
Moving forward , as we enter the spring and summer months ( and hopefully return to safer , COVID-free times ), expect to see a robust calendar of exciting and diverse events to engage all members . Many annual staples in the social and golf calendar will continue , but also keep an out for new social , golf , and racket sport events . In addition to the normal events , each board member will also host a new event to feature and attract fresh member engagement ( think outdoor movie nights , card nights , racket sport competitions , etc .)! More to come , but in the meantime , please continue to monitor the weekly emails regarding smaller ongoing opportunities in the coming weeks and months .
Finally , as we work to build a sustainable financial plan for the year ahead , you will notice a modest dues increase across all member categories which will take effect in March . This dues increase will enable us to maintain a cash neutral budget in 2021 which is important to our financial position following a difficult last few years . Your continued commitment to our club has never been more important , and with your support , we will work tirelessly to provide genuine value in return .
As always , thank you for your continued commitment to and passion for our club . Together , let ’ s make this a tremendous year full of enjoyable and memorable experiences .
Cheers ,
Jason Melvin
Board President
