Club Car President and CEO Gary Michel has been named to the Advisory Council of The Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America dedicated to strengthening the compatibility of golf with the natural environment.
Michel will represent Club Car and parent company Ingersoll Rand, a longtime supporter of The Institute, on the Advisory Council. The Council, which is headed by World Golf Hall of Fame member Greg Norman, provides guidance to The Institute's board of trustees in the areas of outreach, fundraising and strategic planning.
In addition to Norman, The Institute’s Advisory Council includes some of the golf industry’s most respected business leaders and PGA Tour players. Council members work to enhance The Institute's relationships with donors and communicate the importance of the work conducted by The Institute.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the work of The Institute and continue to strengthen golf’s stewardship of the environment,” said Michel, who follows Ingersoll Rand Chairman Herb Henkel to the council position.
