Why the Need for Policies and Governance? Fiduciary responsibility
• Board may spend on average 1.5 hours per month looking at financials at other information at Board meetings.
• Yet they still retain the ultimate fiduciary responsibility for oversight and governance.

“Committee – a group that keeps minutes and wastes hours”

Governance concepts Club organizational structures
• Developer owned• Corporate owned/operated• Individual ownership• Member owned
Member owned – often not-for-profit organized under state Nonprofit corporations laws – Board/committee driven

Governance concepts Board/management structures General manager model
• GM oversees all department heads• GM reports to Board and related committees
Committee/department head model• Board member is assigned as chair of each club
committee (house, finance, greens, golf, etc.)• Each related department head reports directly to
committee chair GOAL – effectively govern and maintain
productive and positive working relationship with management

Characteristics of volunteers Why do members get involved in
Boards/committees “Types” of members who seek out
Board/committee positions:• Actively involved in community and possibly other
not-for-profit Boards• Business owner (“hey this can’t be any different
than selling furniture right?”)• Accountant/lawyer/banker (“so explain to me this
15% nonmember revenue thing one more time”)• The future new food/coffee/insurance (fill in the
blank) vendor

appreciate the fiduciary responsibility they are about to assume

Characteristics of volunteers Fiduciary responsibility to regulatory
bodies (IRS, state authorities)• Duty of care – be informed and prudent• Duty of loyalty – acting in best interest of club
and membership While members may join a Board with the
intention of “doing the right thing” – do they know what the right thing is.
