President'sMessage

Dear Fellow Member,

This will be my final Bagpiper message, in service, as President of BraeBurn Country Club. I consider myself very fortunate to have served as your President. We have so many reasons to be proud during these exciting and transformational times at the Club. We had so many accomplishments this year. However, the completion of the golf course, on time and within budget, was the highlight for me. Watching the construction project, combined with marketing strategies, created Membership growth achieving a prestigious status in our Stockholder category with a “Wait list to belong”.

I was surrounded by an incredible Board of Directors. I would like to personally thank Robby Martin and Scott Deiss for their work with me on our Executive Committee I will miss our weekly calls These gentlemen certainly made my term much more fluid and smoother I am grateful to have been in the trenches with these two committed gentlemen. We all made each other better this last year.

James Sivco will be your Club President next year. I have gotten to know James very well over the last two years. He loves BraeBurn as much as I do. I am very confident in his abilities. Like me, he will need a strong Board surrounding him. Continuing their service will be Jody Batdorf, Robin Bobbitt, Chris Calderwood, Jim Kinahan and Cody Womack. This has to be one of the most dynamic Boards we have ever had. We faced many challenges and opportunities this year. This group of dedicated Board Members always had the best interest, from a “360” perspective, in every decision made relative to the Club and our Membership I am thankful for their service You will have a chance to vote for 3 new Members to our Board this month. Please take this vote very seriously. The next few years for our Club could be the most important in Club history.

Past Presidents that are reading this know what I am saying when I talk about Dan Olson and his Team. We understand the time and passion that they put into the Club. Sure it "is their job" as I have heard a time or two. But it is their going way beyond the call of duty that really makes our Club what we have. I will be forever grateful for working with our Staff. I will probably miss my time with Dan the most. We are fortunate to have him and his Team.

They say that Father Time is undefeated, and he is I have served the last 5 consecutive years on the Board and my time has ended I wonder how many meetings and calls I have participated in over the past 5 years…. I suppose I could try to count them by looking back at my calendars. I can honestly say I loved every minute of them. I will miss my time away from leadership at the Club. I know we are in good hands going forward and I am so proud of our team effort and accomplishments this past year.

Thank you for the privilege of serving.

Paul Davidson BraeBurn Club President
