Algenon Cash, managing director of Wharton Gladden & Company, has been appointed to the Board of Governors for the Piedmont Club where he will serve as chair of the Membership Council. Algenon’s responsibility will include leading the “Inaugural Membership Campaign” to generate 100 new members.

The campaign kicked off on March 1 with an open house that attracted over 200 guests and generated over 50 new members in one night.  “Relationships drive success and the Club has provided me with high quality networking for many years.  I am excited about the new energy at the Club and I look forward to continuing my service to the members,” said Cash.

“Algenon displays a tremendous understanding of the inherent value of being a member of the Piedmont Club.  He also possesses such outstanding communication skills that he gets others energized with his enthusiasm.  He is a leader of great vision and influence and his appointment to the Board of Governors was a very positive decision on behalf of the membership of the Club,” said Peter Grzan, General Manager of the Piedmont Club.

Cash joined the club in 2003 and has contributed greatly to the accelerating growth of the Piedmont Club ever since.  He developed the Young Professional Committee to help lower the barrier of entry for other rising leaders.  In addition, Algenon created the Piedmont Real Estate Council, and hosts monthly programs that educate and empower.  “The seminars that Algenon has created and promoted for the last three years have extended the Club’s outreach into the community at-large,” said Judy Sutherin, Membership Director of the Piedmont Club.

“Piedmont Club members are the beneficiaries of the tremendous energy and passion which Algenon brings to everything he does; above all, he is using his wisdom and experience to help introduce the benefits of the Club to others,” said Sutherin.
