Hello Greater Cincinnati Golfers,

Over the past several months a shakeup of sorts within the GCGA (Greater Cincinnati Golf Association) has occurred. John Reis has stepped down from his Executive Director role and contrary to many beliefs; Todd Johnson was not automatically named his successor. The GCGA board decided to create a committee to begin an exhaustive search outside of our region. Bottom line...Todd did not get the job. Todd has grown up in Cincinnati and spent the past 11 years dedicating his life along with his wife and two children to our sport and community. Over those 11 years as the Tournament Director I think we can all agree that our tournaments have shown the excellence we expect from our coveted titles. Whether you point out the simple things like the GCGA flags and tents or the larger tournament improvements like the online scoring system, Todd has consistently showed his ability through hard work and dedication to produce great tournaments.

This petition is our effort to show the Board of the GCGA that the Cincinnati community of competitive golfers appreciates Todd's efforts and believes he deserves the role which he was groomed over the last 11 years to earn. Sincerely, thank you for your consideration and support.

Best regards,

Bob Spencer

p.s. A full Board meeting is scheduled for Jan.9th where a majority vote mandates any selection so we have time to make our voice count.

The quality of GCGA tournaments has improved immeasurably since Todd became Tournament Director more than a decade ago. His outstanding professional and personal qualities, coupled with all of the close relationships he has made in the Cincinnati golf community, make him the ideal and deserving candidate for Executive Director.

Todd definitley deserves the position of Executive Director that he has worked for the past 11 years. It would not make any sense at all to give the position to anyone not familiar with the Cincinnati area when you have such a qualified person already in place. I hope the board does the right thing and gives him the much deserved promotion.

we have been engravers and suppliers to GCGA since Ben Turner, Tay Baker and John Reis. Todd is so obviously next in line to these fine leaders. Knows the job, been there and is also qualified as an excellent player. Obvious choice!

The GCGA association has made major improvements during the last several years. Todd has done an excellent job with the junior program which will help the future of golf in the Cincinnati area.

Todd has done a great job for Cincinnati golf. I have met him on many occasions as my sons played in many golf tournaments for GCGA. He has proven he can do the job. It would be a black eye on the GCGA if they didn't promote from within such a quality candidate.

I feel Todd has proven himself as worthy of taking on the duties as Executive Director of the GCGA. I am frankly surprised that he was not at the top of the list for consideration.

As a high school golf coach, I support Todd Johnson as Executive Director.
