Board of Directors
The Board of Directors consists of up to eleven positions with a minimum of nine. In addition to overseeing the day-to-day affairs of the YSC, it also works to develop a vision for the club that reflects current membership needs and keeps the club alive, healthy, relevant and Scandinavian.
The YSC is always in need of talented, motivated members to serve on the board and/or the various committees. Annual elections take place at the beginning of each year. You can see the board in action by reviewing our Financials & Annual Meetings page.

Jesper Lundbaek
Tahoe Cabin Master
Jesper Lundbaek was born into the YSC. His Father Borge and Mother Inger immigrated from Denmark in 1964 to the bay area. They immediately found a vibrant and active Scandinavian community of which they became a part of. Jesper was affectionately referred to as the "1st child of Clear Lake" since his parents and their friends were steady fixtures there in activities and the transformation to the property we enjoy today. As a board member for several years from the 90's into the 2000's, Jesper has had experience running the YSC, problem solving, and helping make decisions that benefit the club and its members. His latest activity with the club has been as the Tahoe Cabin Reservation Master since 2006.
