Karla Harding of Windsor, a longtime volunteer rules official for the CWGA and the USGA, will be one of two women who will receive national volunteer awards from the Executive Women’s Golf Association this spring.

Among those expected to be hand are former LPGA Tour standouts Nancy Lopez and Jan Stephenson.
Named for EWGA founder Nancy Oliver, the award recognizes members who display exceptional long-term volunteer leadership and service to the association and exemplify the spirit and mission of the EWGA — enriching women’s lives through the game of golf.
Harding joined the EWGA’s Northern Colorado Chapter 14 years ago and served as chapter president in 2006-07. Since 2008, she has helped adminster and conduct the EWGA’s national tournaments.
“Volunteers are the lifeblood of EWGA,” said CEO Pam Swenson. “These two outstanding women exemplify the dedication, commitment and passion that thousands of EWGA Chapter leaders and national volunteers contribute to our on-going success to connect women through the game of golf.”
