- Who We are
board of Directors
The BIJGA Board of Directors is a working board of volunteers, comprised primarily of junior golfer parents who come from a variety of backgrounds. Please inquire with any Board member for more information.
Beside chairing various events, programs, and activities, the BIJGA Board members pull together in support of one another to make it happen. This is key and essential for success! Please contact any one of these Board members for more information on how to get involved.
