GVO tickets help College athletes

You can support the Douglas College
golf team and save money by buying
tickets early for the 1997 edition of the
Greater Vancouver Open.

As an official charity partner for the
tournament, the College golf squad earns
a 25 percent commission for each ticket
package it sells.

The 1997 PGA tour event will be held
August 18-24 at Surrey’s Northview Golf
and Country Club. Ticket packages cost
$160 if purchased before January | and
$190 after January 1.

The package offers two fully
transferable ground passes for the week,
six tickets for a special Pro-Am tourney

with NBA-NHL stars on August 18, six
tickets for special events on August 19,
plus parking pass and program.

Golf fans may also consider the
Clubhouse upgrades which offer special
grandstand seats (limit of 1,000).
Package cost is currently $270, going to
$325 in the new year.

Golf coach Gert Van Niekerk says the
College sold about 40 ticket packages to
last year’s inaugural GVO, but he would
like to push that number over 100 to make
his team eligible for special bonus packages.

Van Niekerk at local 5042 or 572-1160

Presidential Search Committee

 

Presidential Search Committee Chair
Neal Nicholson reports that the search for
anew Douglas College President is
moving right along.

The Committee—made up of
Nicholson, Al Atkinson, Jean Cockburn,
Des Dougan, Marion Greenwood, Katrina
Lennax, Lynn Leavens, Wendy Liew,
Terry McCann, Willda Noniewicz,
Elizabeth Peerless, and David West—has
met weekly since late October.

“We've considered terms of reference
and Presidential profile,” Nicholson says.
“We will use a consultant to ensure the
broadest. possible pool of candidates and
to obtain extensive, objective reference
checks. A request for proposals is out

now; we expect to engage a consultant
in December.”

The Committee’s goal is to present
recommendations to the Board for
their March, 1997 meeting. “We're
also beginning the task of determining
the process we will use for pre-
screening, short-listing and
interviewing nominees,” Nicholson
adds. ““We want to have that process
set by mid-December as well.”

Comments or guidance from the
College community would be
welcomed by any member of the
Committee. Please contact any one of
them on campus, or call Chair Neal
Nicholson during office hours at
688-3799.
