Elected Director Resignation

Sadly, we advise of the resignation of Grace Letizia from the Board of GolfWA due to personal reasons. Grace has been a key figure in the smooth amalgamation of the WAGA and WGWA and was elected to the first Board of GolfWA in 2011 and again for a two year term at this year's AGM in March. However having recently commenced in a new position of employment with the commitments that entails, Grace has decided to step down as a Director. On behalf of all at GolfWA, we thank Grace for her considerable contribution to not only GolfWA but previously to WGWA and wish her the very best in her new career.
