Dear GCSAA members,
The purpose of this communication is to inform you of a leadership change at GCSAA.
Mark Woodward, CGCS, has resigned from his post as GCSAA chief executive officer to pursue other career interests, effective immediately. Mark has done a solid job managing the organization during one of the worst economic climates in our country's history. His leadership also served to position GCSAA prominently for its research, programs and education regarding golf's relationship with the environment. We wish him success in his future endeavors.
As we make this transition, the GCSAA Board of Directors is dedicated to serving you and identifying a highly qualified replacement. Effective immediately, GCSAA will launch a nationwide search to hire Mark's successor. During this interim time, GCSAA Chief Operating Officer Rhett Evans has agreed to lead the organization until a permanent replacement is named.
The GCSAA Board is committed to the continued success of the association. We are focused on identifying a CEO who will continue to uphold our mission, provide excellent service to our members and implement effective strategies advancing the organization in the future.
Please know that the Board of Directors is focused on ensuring your success and that of your facility. Our services will not be interrupted nor diminished at any time thanks in large part to our talented and professional staff. We appreciate your support during this process.
If you have any additional questions later, please feel free to contact me directly at jfitzroy@presidentsgc.com, or via phone at 617-328-1776 or cell at 617-733-4438.
Thank you,
Jim Fitzroy, CGCS
GCSAA President
