[Board] Multi-Yacht Club Staffing project / Peter

[PETER DAWSON]

All,
Our discussion last week regarding club management centered around the differences in a single operational manager vs. the steward approach.  As I indicated, an operations manager is utilized at both Camden and Arundle (Kennebunkport).  Boothbay Harbor uses a management company (Club Management Association of America) taking direction from the Commodore and BOD.    They operate a significantly larger organization than PYC however. 
Camden has a full time club operations manager (12 months), and after several conversations with her it was clear that their structure worked very well for them.  I don't know her position's salary, but I did have many discussions regarding their club operations (impressive).
Ms. Eileen Foden (retired this year following 22 years) was their ops manager (she's listed as "secretary" on my project plan).  If we wanted to pursue a Q&A with her, it's possible that I could locate her for a conference call (if the board had some specific questions for discussion).  This is just a thought, I'll wait for board input before taking any action.  She ran everything from the the parking lot to all internal & waterfront activities.
I've attached my entire project package including the multi-faceted spreadsheet, and each of the documents submitted by me two years ago.  Note things like steward duties, commodore description (Arundle), by-laws, and offerings by each of these clubs.
I'm  thinking that we should give serious consideration to a club manager.  
Best,
Peter
