William Gorham

For those I have not met, my name is Bill Gorham, and I would appreciate your support for a position on the WGCC Board. My wife Corie and I, together with our children, have been members since 2019. I am an avid golfer, which is another way of saying that I am not very good. I don’t let that stop me from enjoying the game, and all that WGCC has to offer. I currently am, and have been since 2024, a member of the WGCC’s Long Range Planning Committee. To be sure, the club faces challenges as it strives to continue its standard of being the preeminent country club in the area. I believe I have business and legal experience that can serve the club well as it maintains and exceeds this standard. I have been a practicing lawyer since 1990, and my areas of experience include employment law, insurance law, contract law, and litigation. I have served as a managing partner at the law firm I work at for over 20 years, the last 15 as CEO. I look forward to helping the club whether or not elected.

I became a member of Woodbridge for the second time in September 2019 when I moved back to Lodi. As a native Lodian and a golfer since 1971, I believe we as members have a responsibility to preserve our Club and improve on it for the future.

I attended Lodi High and gained work experience as an intern in local businesses. My work experience included managing offices for local dentists and doctors, teaching a vocational education class through Lodi Unified, working as a Loan Officer for Citicorp, and managing operations centers for Bank of the West, American Savings and others. I have an MBA in Accounting and Finance and owned my own Bookkeeping business.

My involvement with the Ladies 18 Hole Group as Chairperson for two WWGA Invitationals, as a past Captain and an active user of the Sports Facility as well as my interaction with the Finance and Greens Committees helps me bring an all encompassing perspective to matters that affect our Club and the members.

I look forward to bringing my skills and abilities to serve our Club.

I am honored to run for re-election to the Board of Directors. Over the past three years, I have served as the Chair of the House and Social Committee, where we led initiatives that culminated in the successful refresh of our clubhouse enhancing the experience for all members. As an avid golfer, I cherish the time spent on our course and value the friendships built here. My wife and two children are also active in club life, and together, we share a passion for the traditions and camaraderie that make our club special. If re-elected, I am committed to continuing to elevate our club’s facilities, events, and member experience. I respectfully ask for your support to serve another term.

NOLAN PERSON

Incumbent

I was born and raised in Lodi and have lived here my entire life. My wife, Claire, and I joined the Club in 2021 with our two boys, Henry (9) and Samuel (6), and we enjoy spending time on the golf course, driving range, and at the pool. I am active in the Men’s Club and have a strong passion for the game of golf.

Over the past three years, I have been honored to serve on the Board—two years as Treasurer and this past year as President. In these roles, I’ve focused on strengthening the Club’s financial position, supporting facility improvements, and enhancing the overall member experience.

Professionally, I am a CPA and currently serve as Corporate Controller for The Herrick Corporation, a large structural steel contractor. My background includes nine years in the golf industry, followed by more than 15 years in finance and accounting.

It has been a privilege to serve this past term, and I am excited about the opportunity to continue building on the progress we’ve made. If reelected, I will remain committed to representing the membership, applying my financial expertise, and working with the Board to ensure our Club thrives for generations to come.

I am excited to run for the Board of Directors at Woodbridge Country Club. My family spends much of our free time at the club, enjoying its amenities and building lasting friendships. I actively play golf and use the gym. My wife, Christina, plays on the tennis team. And our son, AJ, participates in the PGA Junior Golf League. And of course, we all enjoy utilizing the pool area.

Having grown up playing high school golf at Woodbridge, I returned to the area four years ago and proudly rejoined the club. This community holds a special place in my heart, as many current members were part of the club during my youth. This deep connection fuels my commitment to enhancing the club’s facilities and fostering an inclusive environment for all members.

With a Statistics degree from UC Davis and 20 years in commercial real estate, including previous roles as CFO of a private equity real estate firm, I bring expertise in budgeting, financial analysis, and operational efficiency. I am currently working as a consultant in the real estate industry. My current service on the Greens and Membership Committees has given me valuable insight into the club’s needs and opportunities.

If elected, I will work to ensure Woodbridge Country Club remains a vibrant hub for creating memories and friendships, just as it has for me over the years. I am eager to contribute my expertise and passion to elevate the member experience and secure the club’s future.

Thank you for considering my candidacy.
