The PGA of America has announced the 15 PGA of America Golf Professionals who will take part in the 10th cohort of the Association’s PGA LEAD program.
Established in 2016, PGA LEAD is the Association’s leadership development program created to identify, mentor and progress PGA of America Members from a variety of backgrounds along a guided path to volunteer leadership roles at the Chapter, Section and national levels of the PGA of America. The program also helps train PGA of America Members who have a desire to serve on nonprofit boards in the communities where they work and live.
The 12-month program includes virtual monthly training on topics such as board governance and culture, business metrics, pillars of leadership and personal branding. Additionally, the cohort meets twice a year in person for networking and to witness governance in action at Association functions.
“PGA LEAD is an invaluable program for our Association, helping talented PGA of America Golf Professionals prepare to serve and make a difference in both their communities and the Association,” says PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr. “I love seeing the growth of each participant as they progress through the program.”
Leadership positions held by PGA LEAD alumni include one national Board of Directors member and numerous PGA Section Presidents, Section Vice Presidents, Section Secretaries, 20 Section board members and 30 national committee members.
