The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Titow as Chief Executive Officer of NCYC. Michael comes to us with extensive experience in senior management specifically in the hospitality industry.  

The appointment recognises the increased complexity in managing our Club and will facilitate our future growth plans.  The board intends to have Michael assume the role of CEO in the full sense and will require him to oversee all aspects of the Club’s activities.  

Our “founding” Chief Executive, Roy Baker, will assume the role of General Manager Operations, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer..

Michael will commence with the Club early March 2011.

The opportunity was taken to update the meeting on the performance of the club.”  Phil Arnall, Commodore
