Remains committed to the development of women’s golf and women in the workplace by providing 100 premium-level EWGA memberships to its associates
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Baird Private Wealth Management has renewed as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2018 EWGA Cup series, one of the fastest growing competitive golf events for amateur women. Additionally, Baird has reinforced its commitment to developing professional women in the workplace and on the golf course by providing 100 of their associates with premium-level “Business & Birdies” EWGA memberships.
“Baird Private Wealth Management is proud to continue its partnership with EWGA, a not-for-profit organization committed to enriching the lives of women through the game of golf, and to serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2018 EWGA Cup series,” said Mike Schroeder, President of Baird Private Wealth Management. “This partnership reflects Baird’s long-standing tradition of giving back to the communities in which our associates live and work, as well as our strong commitment to the game of golf, which is a keen interest of many of our clients, and current and potential Baird associates.”
The EWGA prides itself as the golf community for women, welcoming both experienced and aspiring players alike. The association is the largest women-focused national amateur golf association with nearly 12,000 members spanning approximately 100 communities in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Italy.
The EWGA Cup series, now in its eighth year, encourages women of all skill levels to compete in a friendly and fun team-based format that encourages teamwork and camaraderie. Teams are composed of eight players from various EWGA chapters who often coordinate colorful outfits with clever team names. For example, the Magnificent 8 of Orlando & Tampa, Florida won the 2017 EWGA Cup after 36-holes of competition, split between singles and four-ball match play. The 2018 EWGA Cup series will consist of eight regional summer qualifiers, followed by the 2018 EWGA Cup Finals, to be conducted at Horseshoe Bay Resort in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Nov. 2-3. Over 125 teams and 1,000 women are expected to participate in this year’s series.
“We’re grateful for Baird’s continued commitment to women both on and off the golf course,” said EWGA CEO Jane Geddes. “The Cup series is one of our Association’s premier events and Baird’s partnership has helped elevate the event’s reputation even further.”
