Meet our all-volunteer Board of Directors

William Krueger

President

Bill joined the McDonough Board of Directors in 1996 and served as tournament chairman for a number of years. Bill was born in Camden, NJ in 1950 but moved at a very young age to Franklin, NH and graduated from Franklin High School in 1967. He played on the golf team all four years while in high school as the seventh man on a six-man team.

Bill graduated from Case Institute of Technology in 1971 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and has spent the majority of his career in the Pulp and Paper Industry working for various equipment manufacturers. Bill did take a few years off from Pulp and Paper as an owner of a packaged ice company and after selling that business the owner of a retail hardware and lumber yard. His retirement in 2023 has provided ample opportunity for Bill and his wife Marcia to travel, and for Bill to play plenty of golf.

After high school Bill did not play golf again until he sold his ice company in 1986. Eleven years into his marriage, Bill’s wife never knew Bill knew what a golf club was until he joined Concord Country Club in Concord, NH.

Bill’s passion for the game grew quickly and at his best carried a 5 handicap. Bill realized that he wanted to give back to the game as much as he wanted to play. To that end he joined the Concord Country Club Board of Directors in 1992 and has served off and on since then. Bill also became a member of the NHGA Board of Directors in 2006 where he served as their President from 2012 to 2014.

In 1992 Bill met Jim Kinhan, a long time McDonough Board member, and through that friendship joined the McDonough Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors. Bill was successful in getting Concord Country Club to go to direct billing for McDonough, making CCC one of the leading donors to McDonough. Bill currently serves as the President of the McDonough Board, promoting McDonough throughout the state through his connections at the NHGA.
