"Hi! I'm Mike Becks and I'm with LeaderBoard Tournament systems of Orlando. We're here on behalf of Expert Village to talk about charity golf tournaments and assembling the committee. The most important part of the golf tournament is providing the committee structure and bringing in strong people who are committed to the event, committed to the organization, and are willing to do what needs to be done. Where do you find the volunteers for such a committee? Well, certainly friends, friends of the charity, clubs, associations that might be related to the organization, board members, colleges, and retirees are good places to start. You need to design goals for the committee members, hold them accountable and check with them frequently either during the meetings or outside the meetings. The chair people that you would want to consider are certainly the tournament chair person responsible for the overall even itself, but also a golfer chair person, a sponsor chair, the prize chairman, the logistics chair, and finally the volunteer chair person. If this is a first year event or you don't have significant expertise in running an event, consider the use of and outside management company to help you run the event. Thank You."
