The Guild Board is a select group of community leaders committed to supporting and enhancing BGCC. To maintain the integrity of the Guild Board, membership is restricted to invitation only. Annual dues are $500. Full Board commitment includes at least 4 meetings per year, provide strategic counsel, fundraise for events, identify and cultivate new donor prospects, attend events, and provide high-level task force and committee leadership where applicable. The group will focus on several activities that include:
- Golden Ring Gala
Where members develop and execute an annual Youth of the Year recognition and fundraising event: The Golden Ring Gala. The Golden Ring Gala will showcase each of the BGCC's five core programs (Character and Leadership Development, Education & Career Development, Health and Life Skills, The Arts, Sports, Fitness and Recreation); with one award going to a child that best embodies the values of each program. - Golden Ring Award is the award program that accompanies the Golden Ring Gala
- Volunteering
Guild members develop new volunteer, recognition and development programs. Organize and execute an annual "June Jubilee", which is a BGCC family cultivation event (a free "picnic" event for Club members, their families, BGCC staff and all Board members to close out the year with a casual, social event featuring BBQ and games). - Education
The Guild members make sure that an education component for the organization is delivered at Board meetings and through other means during the year to heighten awareness and understanding of BGCC and its accomplishments.
