KemperSports announced Scott DeRosier as general manager of Independence Golf Club, the Virginia State Golf Association Foundation’s statewide home for golf in the commonwealth. In his new assignment, DeRosier will oversee all primary operations of the club, located just east of Richmond in Midlothian, Va.
DeRosier joined KemperSports in 2001 as part of the pre-opening team at Independence Golf Club. Over the past seven years, he has been involved in a variety of club operations, including golf shop operations, course maintenance and food and beverage management.
DeRosier’s principal assignment at Independence has been program director of the Robins Junior Program. Under his direction since 2002, the program has blossomed into a leading junior golf learning initiative in Virginia and beyond, touching the lives of nearly 3,000 participants in the summer of 2007 alone. More than 11,000 children have been exposed to golf in the first six years of the Robins Junior Program’s camps and clinics.
"Scott has been a key member of the KemperSports team at Independence since the club’s debut in 2001,” said Steve Skinner, c.e.o. of KemperSports. “He will continue to play a prominent role in advancing Independence as a golf club and learning center while fulfilling the VSGA’s mission of fostering amateur and junior golf in the state of Virginia.”
Prior to joining KemperSports, DeRosier was a teacher at Powhatan Middle School in Virginia. He is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University.
