The UCCS PGA Golf Management Program elects a new Executive Board every academic school year. Elections are held at the second meeting of the spring semester and positions begin around the third week of April. These student leaders spend the summer planning for a year of success and positive change. This board consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer/Historian, Tournament Chair, Merchandise Chair, Community Service/Social Chair, Player Development Chair, Professional Development Chair, and four Class Representatives.

If simple goals can be set within meetings such as successfully meeting these requirements, the stepping-stones will be laid to achieve greater things down the road in the process.
