Position Title: Director of Events and Member Engagement
Reports To: COO
Laurel Valley Golf Club
Ligonier, PA 15658
Club and Position Overview
For decades, Laurel Valley Golf Club has been at the pinnacle of exclusivity and challenge for its membership and guests. Laurel Valley Golf Club is situated in Ligonier, amongst the beauty of the Laurel Highlands in Western Pennsylvania. Laurel Valley Golf Club was established to meet the needs of the city of Pittsburgh. Before the club’s inception, the town was home to a massive industrial powerhouse, with Pittsburgh leading the charge in producing iron, steel, glass, and coal.
Businessmen at the apex of their fields recognized that business could be conducted away from the office in a relaxing context at the highest levels of corporate America. They aimed to create a golf club where business could be conducted and serve as a respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
Upon selecting the site for the course, architect Dick Wilson surveyed the land obtained from the Mellon family. He stated that the location was “the most natural, beautiful site I have ever seen for a golf course.” While membership had been growing, it was Legendary Golfer Arnold Palmer who would advance the club's fortunes to the highest level of sport. Laurel Valley would gain fame by hosting the 1965 PGA Championship, marking the beginning of historic events that would put Laurel Valley on everyone’s radar.
The Club seeks to hire a Director of Events and Member Engagement to facilitate and coordinate events, manage the club's website and communications, oversee membership engagement, and serve as an ambassador for the club. The individual currently in this role has been a great ambassador for the Club for over 33 years and will retire at the end of the golf season this fall. The Director of Events and Member Engagement is at the executive level and reports directly to the COO. As an executive on our executive management team, professional gravitas and strong leadership skills are required. The position requires attention to detail and strong time management.
Laurel Valley Golf Club is a growing hospitality operation, and the member and guest experience are of paramount importance. Understanding the hospitality industry is essential for an executive, and expertise in this field is required, with a preference for experience in the private club industry.
Laurel Valley Golf Club is a seasonal club with a golf season from the first weekend of May until mid-October. While the operation closes and many seasonal employees leave during the off-season, a year-round team performs required duties and off-season projects, and executives develop strategies and plans for the upcoming season. This is a year-round, exempt position.
