The Boulders Members Association (“BMA”) is an Arizona nonprofit corporation. It is the self-governing body of members of the Boulders Club.
Boulders members, except for Associate Tennis Members, are automatically members of the BMA. The BMA has its own set of Bylaws, which set forth its governance, function and general powers, as well as members’ voting rights, and nomination procedures. The BMA Bylaws are available for you to read on the Boulders Members Association website under ‘BMA Legal Documents”
What is BMAC?
The BMA elects members to serve on its Board of Directors, which is also known as the Boulders Members Advisory Committee (“BMAC”). The elected members of BMAC then select whom among them will serve as its officers. BMAC’s function and authority are defined and governed by the BMA Bylaws and by the Club Bylaws and Membership Plan. BMAC’s purpose, as defined by the BMA Bylaws Article 5.4 is to:
represent the interests of the Membership generally, as those interests are reflected in the Club Bylaws, and in negotiations with Boulders Club management with regard to any proposed changes in the Club Bylaws
provide advice and Membership input to Club Management with regard to Club Bylaws issues, policy and operations
maintain a direct and active communications process with the Members, and ensure Members are kept current with regard to BMAC activities
BMAC’s purpose is also defined within the Club By Laws Article 7.2B:
to offer opinions, advice, and input to the Club Manager and to foster Clubs Management’s awareness of the Members’ concerns and ideas.
BMAC is composed of not fewer than 7 and not more than 11 members, of which, up to two may be non-resident members. Provided there are qualified candidates willing to serve, one is a Social Member and one is a Clubhouse Member. Committee members serve 3-year staggered terms. There are also two ex-officio (non-voting) members representing the men and women’s golf associations (BMGA) and (BMWA.)
BMAC appoints members to Standing Committees to work with the Boulders directors such as spa, golf, tennis, communications, house including food and beverage. The Club Bylaws provide that Directors of activities and services at the Resort will work with each Standing Committee to address problems, solicit suggestions and work to improve services.
