Governance

We'd rather tell you plainly how this works than dress it up.

Who leads it

US-IGA is founded and led by Shawn Garrison. He sets the direction and makes the final calls. It is an independent, for-profit organization, not a non-profit, and not controlled by any single manufacturer or operator.

The board

A board of operators and industry partners advises on standards, certification, member benefits, and priorities. Their job is to keep US-IGA useful and honest to the people who actually run the businesses. Founding members help shape it early.

About Scramblers Golf

Scramblers Golf is a member of US-IGA, like any other operator, and does not control the organization. Shawn also owns Scramblers, and US-IGA promotes Scramblers' franchise to operators who want a turnkey brand. We disclose that openly rather than hide it, and we keep the association's tools, data, and benchmarks straight regardless.

What we commit to

Published pricing with no fine print. Membership priced to pay for itself. The straightest information and data we can give you, and transparency about where we or our partners have a stake. Member operating data is aggregated and anonymized; see the Data Pledge.
