Board Roles

The Saddle Creek Women’s Golf Association Board of Directors is responsible for the growth and direction of the Ladies Club. The Board is answerable to its Membership and is obligated to conduct its business with the best interests of the entire Club in mind. It is important that the Board consider how its actions, and those of its various committees, will affect - and will be perceived - by its entire membership and the community and making its decisions accordingly.

Board Members are

Required to attend monthly Board Meetings
Requested to attend the WGANC Annual Meeting held in Pleasanton and at least one of the several WGANC Regional/Area meetings held throughout the year
Expected to attend as many of our monthly tournaments and functions as possible and may be asked to Chair or participate on one or more of our Committees
Considered “ambassadors" of our Club and are expected to conduct themselves appropriately on the golf course; do their best to observe the Rules, etiquette and spirit of the game of golf; and to encourage our members to do the same

Most Board Members are assigned to act as Liaison to one or more committees. The role of a Liaison is to champion the Board’s vision/direction as it relates to each committee; to help keep the committee focused on that vision/direction; and to act a sounding board for committee plans. While a Liaison may choose to chair the committee(s) to which she is assigned, the extent of her involvement, such as participating in planning meetings and reporting to the Board on proposed activities/progress, will depend on the dynamics of each committee.
