New Club Management Structure at FBYC

David Lennarz on Monday September 12, 2016 04:02PM

In the 14 years since construction of the new Clubhouse, FBYC has continued to expand both its physical size and scope of programs. We have almost doubled our footprint, increased substantially the number of stored boats and trailers, hosted more regional and national events, opened our clubhouse to private rental for members, and grown our Junior Division into a flagship youth training program for the Chesapeake Bay that holds events year round. All this has placed greater responsibilities, and sometimes stress, on both our member volunteers and paid staff. We have grown and matured as a club, and it is now time to create a staffing structure that meets the needs of that growth and provides improved members' services.

To this end, your Officers and Board voted to split the current Operations Manager role into two distinct positions of General Manager and Maintenance Supervisor.

We are very fortunate that our current Operations Manager, Dixon Cole has agreed to fill the role as Maintenance Supervisor.  Dixon has served FBYC faithfully for almost 12 years and will bring his vast knowledge of Fishing Bay Yacht Club’s facilities to this position. 

The General Manager role is a new position for which we will solicit applications.  We will hopefully have a new person on board by January 1, 2017.  Our General Manager will be responsible for all member and guest services.  He or she will work with the Flag and Board to facilitate the operation of all FBYC programs and events, including staffing, communications, member relations, and coordination of member use of club assets.

We are very excited about this evolution and look forward to providing the best services and value to our members.  The Flag Officers and I thank Dixon Cole for his support and willingness to adapt to this new structure during the implementation phase ahead.
