Volunteer Roles
Official Designations and Functions
Alberta Golf has three official volunteer designations with particular functions that provide opportunities for interested applicants to assist in a variety of roles and areas that best suit their interest. Below are the three official designations:
Volunteers are involved occasionally with tournaments, rules, player development, course rating and/or committee work. They are not required to work a minimum number of days per golf season and they have no minimum or maximum term as a volunteer.
Associate Directors work on various committees, attend meetings and training sessions. They may have a defined role on the Zone Council, or on a Provincial Committee. They must serve a minimum term of one year with no maximum term and contribute at least 8 days per golf season.
Directors compose the Members of the Board and provide leadership through organizing meetings and training sessions. They have a fiduciary responsibility and contribute to the strategic direction of Alberta Golf. In addition, they contribute approximately 15 days of work throughout the year. Directors must serve a minimum term of one year with a maximum term of ten consecutive years. Most often, directors are elected to the Board after serving many successful years as a volunteer and associate director. The Alberta Golf Board of Directors reflects gender balance and zone representation.
Volunteer Roles
Alberta Golf is comprised of 5 geographic Zones (North, Edmonton, Central, Calgary and South) across the province that organize and implement programs and services within the Zone for member clubs and individual members of Alberta Golf. Knowledge, understanding and participation in Zone programs and services is often a great stepping stone for volunteers interested in getting involved in Provincial programs as a Provincial Director.
