In April, we received word that Brian Cloud, South Central field staff representative for nearly six years, was moving on from GCSAA to work with an allied industry representative. From there, the wheels moved forward to fill the position.
Brian had excellent experience as a superintendent, chapter executive, and chapter official prior to joining GCSAA as a field staff member. While his shoes are tough to fill, we are excited to announce John Walker will be the new representative starting June 1.
Many of you know John from his experience serving on the GCSAA board of directors. For those of you in Nebraska, you may remember our board outreach visit to the Nebraska Golf Summit in November. John was able to speak to members of the Nebraska GCSA and represent the GCSAA during the event which featured local allied groups from the state.
As part of the trip, we made various site visits, including a visit to Matt Noble's facility in Lincoln, Pioneers Golf Course. We were able to tour the golf course and glean information from Matt about what makes the course successful, challenges faced and how to solve problems John was a great sounding board as we met with Matt's staff.
This is a key component in being a successful field staff member. It is vital to listen to your needs and concerns, while providing opportunity to share information that members can use to improve their career.
We welcome John to this new role! He'll work in the South Central region serving members, advancing the profession and enhancing the enjoyment, growth and vitality of golf across the globe.
Please reach out to John, or any of us, and have a great summer!
