Bayview Yacht Club (www.byc.com) – Detroit, Michigan
Spearhead opening of brand new Clubhouse – Spring 2021
Exclusive Search by Harper Associates
With nearly 1,000 members, including many world-renowned racers and leaders in World Sailing, a new 12,500 square foot clubhouse is under construction on the Detroit River to become the new home of “the Shrine of Nautical Culture” known as Bayview Yacht Club (“BYC”).
Over the years, Bayview has become the “racing club” of the Midwest and beyond, producing many of the nation’s top sailors beginning with their award-winning junior sailing program to their small and big boat regatta series as well as hosting local and nationally recognized regattas including our ‘jewel’ event - the annual 262 nautical mile Bayview to Mackinac race. In addition to its sailing fame, BYC is known as one of the most desired social gathering places for sailors and non-sailors alike, the center of which is the world famous “Bayview Bar” – home of the Hummer!
Club Facts:
The Role:
The GM is the ‘face’ of BYC to members, staff, reciprocal clubs and other people and organizations outside of the BYC purview and as such is expected to ensure that the best interests of the membership are maintained and enhanced through his/her leadership. Of extreme importance is 1): the development and support of an effective and dedicated team of department heads, supervisors and staff, 2): establishing a professional ‘infrastructure’ with consistent operating standards and execution and 3): providing overall leadership to all groups within the organization.
In addition to leading all management functions in the operation (with gross revenues just under $4.M, food and beverage revenues that will likely continue to increase with the opening of the new clubhouse), the Club’s GM will lead the preparation of annual operating and capital budgets, and be a catalyst in the strategic planning of the Club. He/She will work with the BOG to identify clearly defined and measurable annual initiatives and budget objectives, and present those plans and recommendations to the BOG for approval.
