Association Director, USSGA & FSGA

MGA•Village of Elmsford, NY

1d•$75,000 - $90,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Association Director is the senior staff lead for two of golf's most storied associations: the U.S. Seniors' Golf Association, founded in 1905, and the Father and Son Golf Association, founded in 1915. Working alongside distinguished volunteer officers, the Board of Governors, and committee chairs, this person is the association's first point of contact for members and the steward of its championships, membership, publications, records, and governance. At the MGA, the position is titled Senior Client Administrator, USSGA & FSGA. The role suits an accomplished professional who takes pride in running things well, works independently, and leads a small team. The championship calendar gives the year a seasonal rhythm: member service and event execution in-season, and the Yearbook, membership cycle, and process improvement in the offseason.
