2008 Year In Review

By Lynn M. Myrick, President & Barb Trammell, Chief Executive Officer

This past year represented one of change, growth and renewed optimism for the Oregon Golf Association. Together, we navigated our way through our first full year as leaders of the Association and got to experience some exciting insights into what the future holds for our organization. Along the way, we developed partnerships with some of our allied associations that will be invaluable for growth – not only for the OGA but for the game of golf itself.

We helped establish the Oregon Alliance for Golf along with the four “core” Oregon Chapters of organizations that represent the golf industry – the PGA of America, the Golf Course Owners Association, the Golf Course Superintendents Association, and the Club Managers Association. Through this alliance we hope to promote initiatives that benefit all of golf by contributing to the betterment of the game. By cultivating relationships with our key partners in the industry we establish a bond that enables us to work together to achieve common objectives.

Additionally, our partnership with the Pacific Northwest and United States Golf Associations has helped strengthen our relationships with our allied organizations both regionally and nationally.

On the home front, the OGA staff is to be commended for all the great accomplishments of the past year and for the continued improvement in customer service that all of you have come to know and appreciate.

The staffs of both the Association and the OGA Golf Course came together in a spirit of cooperation to “hunker down” when times got tough with the economy in an effort to preserve resources and streamline operations and at the same time promote and uphold the mission and values of the organization. The entire staff is to be commended for their contributions to the team.

With a growing volunteer base, the OGA looks forward to 2009. We launched new websites to provide even more opportunities to serve all our stakeholders with news, information, education and other resources. Our goal is to improve our overall communication efforts and we invite your feedback as we continually look for ways to add tangible value to your membership.

We encourage all members to get involved with the OGA and give back to our great game, and allow us to show you that we’re “your partner on and off the course.”
