VGCA Annual Meeting

/in /by

The VGCA will host its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, November 14 from 630-730pm in the clubhouse. The agenda will include an annual update on progress from the VGCA Directors and election of the Board of Directors.

The nominated Board of Directors is as follows:

  1. President – VACANT
  2. Vice President – VACANT
  3. Secretary – VACANT
  4. Treasurer – Kelly Matteson
  5. Pool Committee Lead – Donnie Woodruff
  6. Grounds Committee Lead – VACANT
  7. Communications Committee Lead – Ryan La Riviere
  8. Neighborhood Watch Lead – Glenn Woodell
  9. Governance Committee Lead – Andy Maciejewski
  10. Membership Committee Lead – VACANT
  11. Social Committee Lead – Audra Joyner

Inquiries, nominations, or new business can be sent to the VGCA Board prior to the meeting at [email protected].

As far as definitions of the VACANT posiitons, please understand the committee lead positions are pretty flexible and is what you make it (with the help of our volunteers).  Main thing is to be a coordinator for volunteers to get things done.  For example, there is a crew that cuts the grass on the power lines but sometimes we have to remind our volunteers or find substitutes.  And it never hurts to lead by example and get on the mower from time to time.  Better to maintain than to have to spend hours with a brush hog to handle grass and brush that was not handled (I speak from experience).
President, Vice President, and Secretary:
Grounds Committee Lead:
  • Develop a budget for repairs and upkeep for common grounds, playground, basketball court, tennis courts, and the VGCA Clubhouse.
  • Organizing work teams to accomplish such repairs/upkeep.
  • April to September are most active months for this.
  • Attend monthly VGCA Board meetings as a voting member.
Membership Committee Lead:
  • Promote VGCA memberships.
  • Lead annual VGCA membership drive.
  • Primary contact for collecting membership dues and explaining VGCA membership structure.
  • March-July are most active months for this.
  • Attend monthly VGCA Board meetings as a voting member.
