3.5 Committees and Committee Membership

Whitevale Golf Club has a number of committees that assist the Board of Directors and the management in fulfilling their roles. Bylaw 1-11 describes the standing committees and their duties. Operations committees are created by the Board to accomplish specific tasks; their duties are defined when they are created.

Membership in committees is restricted to Whitevale members and Club employees. Committees are chaired by a member of the Board of Directors and may create subcommittees if their work requires it. A subcommittee may be chaired by any member of the originating committee. Committees are required to prepare minutes of their meetings and to post them in the Board Forum, making them available to all Board members.

All committees are reviewed annually by the Board, following the Annual General Meeting. At that time, membership will be revised, and it is expected that it will be rotated among interested parties, reflecting the Club’s membership in gender, length of service, membership category and age. Under normal circumstances, no member should participate in the same committee for more than 3 consecutive years.

While standing committees and their duties are established in the bylaws, operations committees may be revised and redefined by the Board, at its discretion.

Members are encouraged to volunteer their time to join committees. A member may express interest in the annual operations survey, or by sending a written request to a member of the Board, preferably two weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting. After review, the Board will contact those who made requests and notify requestors whether they have been selected or not.
