About Us | Organization | Committee

Similar to all Not-for-Profit organizations, DGA is managed by its Governing Committee.

The Governing Committee consists of elected DGA members who run the Club on behalf of all the members. They manage the Club and make business decisions. Decisions made by the Governing Committee are based upon adequate records, reports or information and in the best interest of the membership of DGA as a whole.

Regular Governing Committee meetings are held and meeting minutes are documented for future references. The minutes contain information about the discussion items & decisions made, the attendees & date of the meeting.

All renewing members are welcome to submit their names for upcoming Governing Committee positions, to be approved by the existing Governing Committee members. To be an eligible candidate for the Governing Committee, one must be a renewed DGA member with membership in good standing.
