Recognized at National Women’s Golf Association’s National Conference
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, November 10, 2006 – The Seattle chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) has received the prestigious "Chapter of Excellence" award for 2006. Presented in early November at the association’s annual conference held in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, this distinction was earned by only 22 of the organization’s 120 chapters located throughout the United States and into Canada.
The Chapter of Excellence Awards program recognizes chapters that deliver the highest quality programs to its members and which have excelled in fulfilling the mission and purpose of the EWGA. The criteria are based on earning points in six categories including membership, golf education and player development, golf and social events, communications, leadership and sponsorship.
"Earning this award is a yearlong commitment to building our membership and providing our members with a wide array of exceptional programs," says Mary Allan, president of the Seattle chapter of the EWGA. "We are proud of our achievement and our role in promoting the growth of women’s golf within the greater Seattle area. We invite all interested women within the community to join us and discover the many personal and professional benefits of golf and the EWGA."
The Seattle chapter has earned Chapter of Excellence recognition during all but one year since the program’s inception in 2001.
Since the EWGA started in 1991, more than 80,000 women have benefited from membership in the organization which is dedicated to providing opportunities to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf for business and for life. It is considered the largest U.S. amateur sports association geared toward business women.
