As a private club professional who spent 30 years “on the other side” as a client of search firms, the benefit of which is a clear understanding of what makes a good search. I've spent countless hours in board meetings providing me with the ability to identify both club and board room culture. These attributes, along with a vast network of professional contacts will allow me to recruit the right individual who views the goals strategically and has the knowledge of how to get there.My engagement with GGA is intended to provide next-level search, finding candidates who will serve your club for many years. Once the successful candidate is in place, my experience in strategy and club strategic planning, the member experience, leadership development, and coaching will ensure the candidate and their clubs are in the best position to succeed.Placing the ideal candidate does not end the process. In fact, the onboarding process plays a critical role in the success of the candidate. I know what it takes to get a candidate comfortable in their role and positioned to succeed.
