  • (1888PressRelease) July 13, 2012 - Jon Flora exemplifies the ideal Scottsdale Country Club president in that he is a visionary, pursues excellence and understands the cost/value reward for risk and, just as importantly, makes for a great leader.

    Visionary? Leadership? Value of risk? Here's a great example.
    "Jon encouraged the Scottsdale Country Club board of directors to adopt a market-based pricing membership model that, without question, has proven to be an innovative approach to membership marketing and a phenomenal success for The Country Club at DC Ranch," a Scottsdale private golf Club, emphasized general manager Paul Skelton.

    "In less than 12 months we basically eliminated a resignation list at the Scottsdale private golf Club with 131 names on it, sold over 80 golf memberships and generated just shy of $1 million of 'Other Income' for the Scottsdale Country Club.

    "With Scottsdale Country Club president Flora, we might never be able to define what 'best' is or means, but we are committed to taking advantage of every opportunity to 'take the Scottsdale private golf Club to the next level,'" Skelton added.

    Flora has supported investment in the Scottsdale private golf Club's physical assets, as well as investment in top quality human resources. "Oh yes, Jon's mantra when it comes to Scottsdale private golf club governance and leadership is hire the best people, step back and let them lead the way," Skelton stressed, in reference to that dastardly governance pest called micromanagement.

    Flora joined Dillon Companies (a division of the Kroger Co.) in1971 as clerk and, has spent 41 years with the company. He joined Fry's in 2007. As president, he's responsible for 121stores, 19,000 associates and three million customers the company serves each week. In addition to his role as president, he also oversees our charitable giving program that benefits the communities in which the company serves.

    Jon and his wife, Christy Taylor has two grown children - Byron and Jessica.

    "I had the opportunity to introduce my president as keynote speaker at the recent K2 Summit, and my initial comment when making the introduction was: "You can only wish that you're club president

    Might be like mine!"
    High words of praise for the Scottsdale private golf Club and a reason by Jon Flora is one of Boardroom's top presidents for 2011.
