Gather community voice, benchmark best-in-class, design master plan, implement vision, measure impact, and sustain model.
What is the timeline?
We began the reimagining process in 2019 and plan to complete the reimagination of all 8 of our Clubs by the end of 2021.
What is the campaign goal?
$15 million over three years.
