Sincerely,

 

 

My main focus coming into the GM position is Member service.  As a former small business owner I understand how critical it is to create exceptional customer service.  I will be challenging your staff to consistently create exceptional experiences.  I am also very focused on growing our membership, both through retaining our current Members and encouraging more people of "good humor and high character" to join us.  In addition I will be challenging the staff - and you, our Members - to expand our existing programs and services and explore new ones to enhance our community and provide more value for your Club membership.  I look forward to working on all these issues with the Members, the Board and the staff.

 

A few words about myself.  My family has deep roots in Indiana, going back all the way to the 1820s.  I was born and raised in Indianapolis and have fond memories of Rivi from childhood.  My professional background is in small business and nonprofits.  For the past 20 years I have been running my own business, Hoosier Orchid Company, on the northwest side of Indianapolis.  I have also been involved at a volunteer leadership level with a national, membership-based nonprofit for more than 15 years.  For more details of my education and career you can view my LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/williamrhodehamel.  My wife Megan and I will celebrate our twentieth anniversary this fall.  Our 13 year old son Benjamin is in seventh grade at Orchard, and we live in a 150 year old farm house just off 86^th Street in eastern Hendricks County.

 

I look forward to meeting each of you personally as I settle into this position.  I will be attending just about every event at the Club and will be scheduling some informal question and answer sessions with members, including a Town Hall on Monday 2/22/10, so I can get your direct input.  If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me personally.  You can reach by phone at 255-5471 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
