Dear Adobe Members,

Nominations are currently being taken for four open board positions. The board appointed a Nominating/Election Committee consisting of Julie Carnes, Nelda Linman and Kathy McAndrews. If you decide to run for the Adobe board please provide this committee with a picture and 100-word, or less, statement that will be posted on the Website and at the club at the end of October. Eligibility to run requires that you have played at the Club at least 20 times between November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024.

Our Expectations:

Adobe has a strong active Board and the Club is in excellent financial shape. We hope you will consider joining the board or otherwise volunteering.

• • Board Meeting Attendance: The board is required to meet bi-monthly but we usually meet each month, offering hybrid in-person and Zoom meetings. They generally last no more than one hour and are results oriented and solution-focused.
  • Club Play: It is important that each board member maintain a regular presence at the club. Board membership requires playing a minimum of 20 times over a year. We believe board members who are at the club every week act as club ambassadors and have a greater awareness of what’s working and how we might improve. Eligibility to run requires playing 20 times from November of the prior year through the end of October 2024.
  • Officers and/or Committee Chairs: Board members are expected to take part in running the club by investing their talents. As good stewards, we work together and volunteer on committees to support education programs, retain and grow membership, host special events/support club hospitality, maintain the facility, and responsibly manage our finances.
  • Bylaws and Financials: It is important to read and understand our bylaws and our monthly financial reports.
