Letter from our President Steve Sasser
Happy New Year Lake Forest! We’ve got many things to be thankful for and many more to look forward to. Your Board of Directors, along with Icon Management (formally Vision Golf & Association Management) are working diligently to provide our membership with the best member experience and satisfaction possible. We’re making some changes in personnel that we feel will be the best fit to facilitate just that.

We are excited to announce that Erik Tanner has taken the position of our General Manager. Erik is already familiar to many of us. He has held the position of Lake Forest’s Golf Course Superintendent and Director of Agronomy for the past nine years. Prior to his tenure at Lake Forest, Erik help design and build Soldier’s Creek Golf Course in Elberta. There he also held the positions of Golf Course Superintendent, DOA, as well as General Manager. His experience in leadership, creative problem solving, and working within a budget will be a tremendous asset to our membership. Erik’s longtime assistant, Kal Weatherly, will step up as our new Golf Course Superintendent. Congratulations to Erik and Kal! We look forward to your success in your new positions.

We are also excited to announce that another familiar face will be stepping up to help us meet our challenges. Michael Albrecht, USPTA, our Director of Tennis, has accepted a new additional role and new responsibilities as our Director of Communications and Marketing. Michael has done a tremendous job growing our tennis program not only with his coaching skills, but with his expertise in marketing and advertising. Michael is going to close a wide gap in the communications chain from our management and board of directors to the membership. Congratulations to Michael! We welcome your leadership to help make our communications with the membership and marketing outside of Lake Forest as effective as possible.

Your Board of Directors has also made some changes. We typically elect new officers each year in an organizational meeting shortly after the annual meeting in March. Since we don’t have an election, and therefore no new directors, we opted to elect new officers in a special meeting of the board of directors Thursday night, January 3rd. I’m pleased and humbled to announce that I, Steve Sasser, will be serving as our President. Victoria Phelps will be serving as our Vice President. David Dueitt will be serving as our Secretary. Mary Ann Hampton will continue to serve as our Treasurer. Mike Morgan will serve as our Sergeant at Arms. Along with Ed Kirby and John Lake, we are all dedicated to meeting the challenges facing our association head on and continuing our task to make Lake Forest the best is has ever been.

From our management, and our Board of Directors, we appreciate your support and participation. We look forward to working with you in 2019!

Thank you,

Steve Sasser
