Formation & Objectives
Managing the Advisory Council falls under the auspices of the NJGF Executive Committee. The Advisory Council is a collection of individuals who bring unique knowledge and skills, which augment the knowledge and skills of the Board of Trustees, in order to more effectively guide the New Jersey Golf Foundation. The advisory council’s three main objectives are as follows:
1. Provide feedback on the NJGF’s overall direction
2. Identify new donors: Family Foundations, Corporate Partners & NJPGA Clubs
3. Provide community feedback
