Concord, MA – More than 200 New England PGA Professionals gathered at Nashawtuc Country Club on Dec. 1 for the Fall Meeting, where the first New England PGA Foundation Board of Directors was officially sworn in.
The Foundation is proud to welcome back President Rob Jarvis, PGA, of Bangor Municipal Golf Course who has served in this role since the Foundation’s launch in 2017. Mike Bradshaw, PGA, of Kirkbrae Country Club will serve as Vice President of the board of directors.
“Today’s swearing-in marks an energizing new chapter for the New England PGA Foundation,” Jarvis said. “Our board brings tremendous passion and experience, and I’m excited for the impact we’ll create together for veterans, youth, and our local communities.”
Board members include Thomas Fernandes, PGA, Joanne Flynn, PGA of Windham Country Club, Larry Kelley, PGA, of ProLine Golf Consulting, Jo-Anna Krupa, PGA, of Fresh Pond Golf Course, and Cory Yudkin, PGA, of Cobra Puma Golf. The board will also welcome two Independent Directors, both non-PGA Professional positions for one-year terms. These appointments will occur shortly after the New Year.
“It’s an exciting moment for the New England PGA Foundation,” Yudkin said. “This new board is united by passion and purpose, and I’m proud to help drive meaningful growth and impact in the seasons ahead.”
Board members are expected to champion the Foundation’s mission and act in the best interest of its stakeholders. Their roles require commitment, engagement, and dedication to advancing the Foundation’s work to positively impact lives through the game of golf.
The New England PGA Foundation staff is enthusiastic about the establishment of the board and looks forward to the strategic leadership it will provide in strengthening the Foundation’s reach and impact.
