With nearly
forty Member Clubs and 120 persons on hand, the Association’s
Club Leadership Workshop at South Hills Country Club on
Saturday, January 19, was the biggest single turnout for a WPGA
workshop or seminar in three decades.
David Axson, a
business consultant from Bath, Ohio, near Akron, informed,
updated, and challenged the audience that was a mixture of
senior staff and elected club officials from throughout the
Association. Clubs attended from as far away as Erie (Kahkwa,
Lake Shore & Lake View), and Johnstown/Altoona. Axson,
President of Sonax, a business research and advisory firm,
presented market and demographic statistics both locally and
nationally, provided solutions, and offered suggestions on
assessing the conditions at private clubs. The freewheeling
three hour session was highlighted by numerous questions from
the audience.
Those
interested in contacting Mr. Axson additionally may do so by
contacting the Association.
