Governance and Prudent Fiscal Management
Strong club governance and fiscal strength are the foundation of our success and are the catalyst for
many peer clubs looking to CCV for guidance and best practices. Effective governance allows the
CCV Board to remain focused on important issues while the staff operate the Club.
Board of Directors
CCV’s Board of Directors is made-up of 15 members. The Club’s Constitution and Bylaws provide the Board with the power to make all decisions, eliminating the need for member votes for capital projects and other strategic issues. The Board is elected through a contested election by the members holding stock.
The Board focuses on long-term strategies and relies
on our committee structure to study issues and
recommend action.
A full-day orientation is provided to newly elected
Board members annually.
A commitment to strategic planning sets a road map
for current and future Boards.
committee structure
CCV is supported by Board Committees and Advisory Committees. Board committees are populated by current Board members, and focus is centered on strategy and setting policy for the Club. Members-at-large, who are users of particular activity areas, comprise advisory committees that are more tactical in nature and are asked to provide suggestion and feedback to staff.
Financial strength
The financial strength of CCV is unmatched in the industry. Our Board and staff make decisions with a long-term view, especially in times of uncertainty. A steady flow of new member matriculation, regular dues increases, and active use by members contribute to our strong fiscal position.
New capital projects are funded through cash flow from initiation fees while depreciation funded through our operating budget are used for annual capital replacements. The Club has never assessed its members in its 118-year history.
