2025 Board Election

Voting is now open! Click below to access your ballot and cast your vote.

The time has come to begin the process of electing new leadership to our Board of Directors. Each year, the voting members elect a small group of fellow members to continue guiding the direction of our club — ensuring the club continues to thrive, evolve, and represent the voices of our membership.

This year, three board positions will be filled, each serving a three-year term. In order to be nominated for consideration or vote in the Board election, you must be a full voting member.

We encourage all voting and non-voting members and staff to learn about the Board election process, as it is an important part of our club’s governance.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about how nominations work, key dates, and how to cast your vote. We’ve also provided a list of current board members, as well as contact information if you have any questions about the process.

We’ve worked to streamline the process to make it clear, easy to follow, and accessible — whether you’re nominating someone, considering running yourself, or simply casting your vote.

This year, the Nominating Committee will consist of Committee Chair and Board Member Andrew Weininger, Board President Shawn Kriewaldt, Board Treasurer Eric Ballweg, and two other voting members to be nominated by the Committee Chair.

Per our bylaws, the Nominating Committee is made up of five individuals who help guide the early stages of the election process. The committee includes the current Board President (or a past President if the current President is up for election), two current Board Members who are not up for re-election, and two voting members from the general membership who are not seeking a position on the Board. This mix of leadership and member representation is designed to ensure a fair, thoughtful, and balanced approach to identifying potential candidates for the Board of Directors.

Nominations opened on April 15. 

• Email your nomination to nominations@bishopsbay.com

• Nominees must be full voting members in order to be eligible for consideration

• Be sure your nominee agrees to run

The first round of nominations are now closed.

Deadline for all interviews of nominees to be completed by our Nominating Committee and the final recommended slate will be presented to the Board of Directors for final approval.

The Board of Directors approves the final nominees.

The Board has approved the following four nominees for the 2025 ballot:

A Bishops Bay member since 2002, Sean has served on several Club committees including Pool, Tennis, Finance, and Greens, as well as a prior term on the Board. He is currently the General Manager and VP of Anden, leading strategic growth and operations in the indoor agriculture sector.

A member since 2012, Mark currently serves on the Board and heads the House and Membership Committee. Mark lives in Waunakee and is actively engaged in all aspects of Club life with his family. He brings financial and relationship-building expertise and is eager to continue supporting Bishops Bay’s growth and success.

Billy is the current Vice President of the Board and chairs the Greens Committee. He is the founder and President of Security First Title and has held leadership roles on various community, education, and country club boards.

Any Full Voting Member can still appear on the ballot by collecting written endorsements from 20 Full Voting Members by June 19. Endorsements must be emailed to: nominations@bishopsbay.com, and nominees will be vetted to ensure that they are aware of their nomination and meet the membership criteria.
