Candidate - Ryan Young

 

My name is Ryan Young, and I have been serving as Treasurer on the Empire Ranch Men’s Golf Club Board of Directors since October 2022.

I have been a member of the club since 2015 and have participated in the Club’s Saturday Matchplay team for the past several years.

In my current position as Controller for Cemex, Inc., I am entrusted with the integrity of the financials for our West & Southwest divisions, with revenues of a billion dollars.  The team I lead communicates our financial position, as well as adhering to all internal and external policies and financial controls.

Many of these duties directly transfer over to my position as Treasurer of our club.  I enjoy learning, applying my accounting and financial knowledge to different organizations, and using the many software platforms our Club employs, but nothing beats getting the tournament winners paid as soon as possible! I led efforts to sign members up with electronic payments through Zelle so our Optional Game winners get paid the same day payments are released.    

I think we have a great club, and with your support, I would like to continue to be part of making the improvements which keep us on an upward path.  I think the modifications we’ve made as a Board in the years I’ve served have been positive and well received.  We’ve provided the option to play different tees more often, we implemented a pace of play policy, and we’ve adjusted the Matchplay format after listening to our members.

I believe our membership has many more great ideas that we can continue to use and implement, so I hope you give me the opportunity to hear them, and help put them into action.

 

Thank you for your consideration.
