160 Golfers Contribute to Camo Classic Success!
The Bella Vista Village Property Owners Association
hosted the 2015 Camo Classic golf tournament on
Saturday, September 5th on its Berksdale course.
Next year, the tournament may encompass two
or more courses. The Camo Classic
was a four person scramble
which allowed members and
guests the opportunity to
show support for the Folds
of Honor Foundation. The
foundation supports the
families of fallen and injured
United States soldiers.
Forty dollars of each team's
entry fee went to the Folds
of Honor Foundation in
addition to the funds from collection jars
at each pro shop. Last year, the event
successfully raised nearly $1,250. This year,
the event raised over $3,200 and catered
to 160 golfers.
Congratulations to Tom Prout, who won the
SNAG chip off Bridgestone USA Staff bag!
Courtyard Marriott of Bentonville provided breakfast and gourmet coffee.
Gusano's Pizza showed their support
by providing pizza, and Johnny Carino's
pitched in by providing sides and dessert.
For more information about the Camo
Classic or to sign up for next year's
event, e-mail golf@bvvpoa.com or call
479-855-5079. Look for more photographs of the Camo Classic in the October
issue of Village Voice.

Chair Chat
Bob Brooks, Chairman of the Board , Bella Vista Village POA
CHANGE:
Throughout life all of us are faced with changes. Change can
be frightening; change can be exciting, change can result in
self examination, change can create opportunities! We can all
identify with these and other effects of change. Your Property
Owners Association is now facing change with the departure
of our General Manager; this affects our membership, our
employee leadership and their respective teams. Your Board is
working tirelessly with POA staff to limit the impact this change
has on our members. We are meeting on a regular basis to
gather information and make operating decisions during this
interim period while looking for a new leader.
The Search for a new General Manager:
Many members have wondered (and offered advise) how we
will, or should begin the search process for our new General
Manager. After much discussion and with the best interests of
the MEMBERSHIP as a guiding principle your Board has entered
into an agreement with GSI Executive Search to assist with the
identification, recruitment and hiring of a General Manager.
GSI has partnered with many “like” organizations seeking qualified leadership.
Why did we agree to work in concert with a Search Firm?
While your board members bring vast experience from a variety of disciplines, as a collective we do not possess the expertise needed to find the BEST candidates to direct your amenity

based association. We gathered input from other POA organizations relative to their experiences when faced with similar
circumstances. We looked at the time it would take us to
navigate the vetting process alone or in tandem with a search
firm. We looked at the cost associated with a tandem approach
as it related to a new hire.
After these and other considerations, taking into account all
factors of time, expense, membership and staff leadership
needs, we determined that partnering with a search firm is in
the Bella Vista Property Owners Association’s BEST interest.
One benefit of change is the opportunity of our leadership to
look at policies and procedures from a different perspective.
This can have a very positive impact on the manner in which
we operate your amenities.
I would like to give my thanks to Tommy Bailey, who has contributed much to our community in his time here, I wish him
the best moving forward.
Who has the best GOLF GROUP in Bella Vista?
I am proud to announce the CHAIRMAN’S CUP!; a team competition to determine bragging rights for the next year. This
competition will crown an overall team champion, a ladies
team champion and a men’s team champion. This new event
should be a great way to showcase your golf group. Look for
more details soon from Andy Mar and Golf Operations! 
