DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Registration is now live. As we all know, there are tax rules that prevent the Association from directly giving money to members. But the basic principle is that we can reasonably compensate a member for performing services that advance our exempt purpose; specifically for growing the game of golf. Therefore we created a plan whereby members that participate in programs that meet specified performance objectives can earn a contribution towards a deferred compensation fund.

PGA Members can potentially earn up to $1,500 a year to a deferred compensation fund by participating in combination of 16 activities

The aim is that over the years these investments will grow and provide a supplemental income for the member upon reaching the age of 65

In addition to all our programs and other benefits this is now a very real and accessible vehicle to accumulate wealth towards a more comfortable retirement. We further hope that this can serve as a truly significant lure and recruiting tool to attract new talent to our great and growing industry.

Sub committees that include your fellow PGA Professionals, board members and ED’s worked on program details and administration.

This won’t be without challenges but for the first time ever we got a response of yes we can do this from the IRS. We will roll out, review and refine the program over the first few years.

Regional Model Leadership Changes

As the Regional Model evolves some adjustments to our current leadership team have been made. With the evolution of the Regional Director role, Monte Koch raised his hand and indicated that he would prefer to stay in his role as the Career Consultant serving the Pacific Northwest Section and we know he will continue to be a superstar. Our members are his passion and we know he now he will continue to provide amazing service to the PNWPGA Professionals. This move has led us to make a few additional modifications to the current Regional Leadership:

-Mike Ray will now take over leadership of the West Region given his strong relationships with the Executive Directors in his new territory.

• -Don Sweeting will now take over the Atlantic Region leadership where he has previously managed some of the current staff and also served as a Career Consultant

• -The final move is moving Ted Logan into the Southeast Region- Regional Director. Ted applied for the Southeast Regional role last year, but agreed to put his application on the sideline to assist in finishing the PGA Teaching Ted's responsibilities in the PGA.Coach space will be assumed by Anthony Vitale.
