BOARD CHANGES
Dear PCVG Members,
This letter serves to formally notify you that effective immediately, the following individuals have resigned from their positions on the PCVG Board:
Renie Curry, PCVG Board Chair
Steve Campbell, League Activity Director
Amy Cameron, Marketing Director
Cheryl Hallgren, Membership Director
We are taking this step with a heavy heart, but it has become necessary due to what we believe is an untenable situation within the board. We have become increasingly concerned with the organization's direction, which has, in our view, strayed from its foundational principles.
Our decision is rooted in a fundamental disagreement with the board's current approach to governance and priorities. We have witnessed a troubling pattern of internal conflicts and a disregard for the established bylaws, leading to significant distractions from the core mission of serving our players. We also have serious concerns regarding financial oversight and the lack of a clear vision for the club's future.
We want to be clear: this resignation is a direct result of the issues outlined above. We are not resigning due to any falsehoods that may be circulating. We simply cannot, in good conscience, continue to be associated with a board that we feel has lost its way.
We wish the PCVG and its members the very best. It has been an honor to serve you, and we sincerely hope the organization will find its way back to a path that truly puts its players first.
Sincerely,
Renie Curry, Steve Campbell, Amy Cameron, Cheryl Hallgren

What's the heck is the PCVG?

Pickleball
Community
Volunteer
Group

aka the Politburo of PB in TV

Dam, sounds like the board is in a pickle?

Obviously, things have gone sour.

Paging @Ralphie.....

IMO Probably over replacement of dura balls? the most junk balls in pickleball. Even Franklin x balls are better and around 1/3 the price. I praise rec department for buying Vulcan proV2 balls :bowdown:, hopefully some will filter there way up north (but I doubt it? Who care about old area?). Something had to happen that they didn’t like? Why keep us in dark? Where rat when we need one? :beer3:

I doubt this had anything to do with the balls. PCVG is very political and there has probably been some internal rifts on how certain things should be done.

Now that's funny, but true in lots of functions. :shrug:

Does the Villages have these kind of boards for each sport? Does golf have 1 too?
There seems to be some issues with this boards resignation statement based on the spokesman’s comments:

“ We have become increasingly concerned with the organization's direction, which has, in our view, strayed from its foundational principles.
Our decision is rooted in a fundamental disagreement with the board's current approach to governance and priorities. We have witnessed a troubling pattern of internal conflicts and a disregard for the established bylaws, leading to significant distractions from the core mission of serving our players. We also have serious concerns regarding financial oversight and the lack of a clear vision for the club's future.”

1) how can this board be upset with the direction of this board? These same people resigning are the exact members setting the direction?
2) internal conflicts? Again, they are referring to the same board they run!
3) financial oversight? I found out this board implemented a $20 fee for any pickleball player who uses any of the boards function. What’s concerning is that it seems the board started getting inquiries on what that fee used for and the board did t know how the money is spent. I hope all boards or organizations within the villages are accountable for any charged fees, that seems like a very reasonable request from the heads of an organization

OP it will be OK. Sometimes people on volunteer boards who decide what their views are, no longer represent the group as a whole. Infighting starts, lines are drawn, and sides are chosen. So those who feel offended have chosen to take their toys (pickleballs) and leave.

Resigned board will wait for the new board, silently hope no good things come to pass, and they fail. Therefore original board was better.

Or in some cases out with the old ways. Incoming board, will have New and improved leadership.

Maybe they should have spelled out the acronym but if you are one of the literally thousands of pickleball players in TV you knew what it was. I'm guessing that most golfers know what PGA stands for.

This is the kind of statement that proves there is a disconnect between those who are capable of recognizing and dealing with "real world" problems and those who are play acting.

I'm not sure a self-important "volunteer community" group, has quite the name recognition as one of the 2 national organizations, that represents 30,000 Professionals?

BlueStarAirlines wins the prize, for the pithiest post. A couple of honorable mentions on the list, too.

The OP is devoid of any useful information that could be used to engage in any intelligent discourse. Thus, it is a waste. If you have something to say, be specific.
