Boise, Idaho - 2019 was a great year for the Idaho Golf Association, and we look forward to what 2020 holds! The IGA reaches new heights year in and year out because of its volunteers, and each year we make sure to recognize the volunteer that truly makes a difference in the IGA. This yeah though we couldn’t possibly narrow it down to just one, so the IGA is excited to announce that the 2019 Co-Volunteers of the Year are Tim Fleming and Brenda Sanford!
Fleming has served as General Counsel to the IGA since 2012 and looks forward to many years to come. “There is no greater feeling than helping others. Working with a non-profit organization like the IGA provides plenty of opportunities to share your time and expertise for the benefit of someone else. By volunteering, you will meet people from around the state of Idaho that you would otherwise never meet, and you will become personally enriched because of the experience.”
Sanford served previously as the Treasurer to the IGA and knows where the IGA has been and knows where it’s going. “I enjoyed my time on the IGA Board, there were lots of challenges, however there was positive with the financial status of the IGA improving. The great staff that work there have made some great changes to the IGA, specifically the tournaments and course rating areas. I especially enjoy volunteering for the tournaments and meeting many new people.”
Both share the same mindset when asked what it means to be named as a Volunteer of the Year. “I am very appreciative of the recognition. I volunteer to hopefully make a difference and to give back to my community through any volunteer work that I do,” Sanford said.
“It is incredibly humbling. I have a small role in an organization that is very successful because it is built around the spirit of volunteerism and a commitment to a solid charitable mission by a significant number of people. I am confident that tomorrow will be even better than today for the IGA because of each and every volunteer. I am blessed to be one of many,” Fleming said.
Tim and Brenda have been a vital part of the IGA's efforts for many years. The honorable way in which they have both served the IGA is a great tribute to their character and mission. While we know there are many other endeavors and obligations to be accomplished, we are extremely grateful for the time and commitment that they have shown the IGA in 2019 as well as in previous years.
