Election of New Committee Members

Election of new Committee Members may take place after the conclusion of the League Championship and before the Annual League Banquet every two years. Candidates are self-nominated and elected by achieving the highest numbers of votes from all active TPGL Members that vote. Officers of the Committee are elected by and from the Committee Members at the Committee’s first meeting.  There are no restrictions in the number of terms a Member may serve on the Committee. Ties in voting will be resolved with a coin toss in the event mutual agreement by the individuals tied cannot be resolved (i.e. if one or more of the tied individuals does not withdraw).

 

Guiding Principles

  1. If a Member of the Committee resigns or needs to be replaced at the discretion of a majority of the Committee, he can be replaced by appointment by the Commissioner followed by simple majority agreement by the Members of the League. A decision to replace or leave vacant a resigning Committee member's position is decided by majority agreement of the Committee.
  2. The Committee will meet at the discretion of the Commissioner and/or when at least three Members of the Committee agree a meeting is required for any reason.
  3. All decisions made by the Committee require a simple majority vote that will be considered at that point a unanimous decision.

Commissioner

The Commissioner is elected from and by the Committee to preside over all League and Committee meetings, to establish meeting agendas, to appoint and oversee other Committeemen and their responsibilities, to oversee league rules and competitions, to represent the TPGL with golf courses, and to generally administer and facilitate all TPGL matters with its Members.  The Commissioner can appoint any Member of the League in good standing to supervise specific events, perform certain League duties, or act as a representative of the League.  These appointments outside of the Committee must be approved unanimously by the Committee prior to taking place.  The Commissioner will direct the election process of Committee members at the appropriate time.

Roles and Responsibilities of Committee Officers

The basic idea is not to have one committee member responsible for everything – but to spread out responsibilities taking into consideration each committee member’s strength and how much time they have to handle.
