Who can participate in the association's decision-making processes?

Participation in the association's decision-making processes is typically reserved for Class A members. These members hold a professional status within the organization and are actively engaged in the management and operations of the golf industry, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to discussions and decisions.

Class A members are granted voting rights and often have leadership roles that enable them to influence the direction of the association. This structure is designed to ensure that those most knowledgeable and involved in the profession can shape policies and initiatives, reflecting the interests and needs of the golfing community.

Other classifications, such as Class F members and nonactive classifications, generally do not possess the same level of involvement or authority in decision-making. Consequently, they may not have the voting rights or opportunities to directly influence the association’s policies. This distinction is crucial in maintaining a governance framework that prioritizes the input of active professionals who are invested in the future of the organization and the sport itself.
