General Manager
With over thirty years in the hospitality business, Chris has been with Woodside for 5+ years. Working since the age of ten at family-owned restaurants and later moving to the hotel business, Chris' focus has been on maintaining and improving the high standards set in service and facilities at the club, increasing communication with the members, and handling the many physical changes occurring at the Club over the last few years. Chris has realized that with age, comes wisdom, and the knowledge that you can no longer do everything you could at 25...and the need to adjust accordingly. Chris utilizes everything from yoga to group exercise classes and takes advantage of all the expertise, knowledge and help that Woodside offers to all of its Members.
Membership Director
Kevin claims to be a Midwest native, but it's hard to tell for sure. Maybe his 15 years spent in the Arizona desert melted his mind. The guy actually flips channels between tennis matches and NASCAR races, loves the humidity, and professes that the NBA is much better than the college game. He thinks Family Guy is hilarious, Seether rules, and that jeans & a company t-shirt should be standard business attire. Fortunately, this enigma has a love of tennis and a successful record when it comes to selling, which is how he ended up at Woodside. Every company he has owned or represented has experienced significant growth. He said it starts with taking care of the customers, listening to their needs, and providing a solution to their individual issue. "It's simple, but not always easy," he says. Kevin lives in Shawnee, has been in love with his wife, Kim, for nearly twenty years, and is the father of two pretty cool kids, Sebastian and Dante.

She moved back to Kansas City after graduation in 2003, and now, as Director of Member Services, Katie is here to help all members realize what the Club can offer, how we can help or to just be a friendly, familiar face around the Club.
Wellness Director
As a child, Dr. Chaney was always health conscious being a dedicated gymnast and soccer player, a high school diver, and college lacrosse player.

Loving to run and finally checking off a marathon on her bucket list, she continues to be an avid runner and when not land-locked loves to be in Northern Michigan on Torch Lake.
Kate holds a bachelor of arts degree in both psychology and elementary education, which complement her abilities as a coach and trainer. In 2005, Kate organized Survivor Ride, an annual fundraiser which benefits Children's Mercy Cancer Center. In 2007, this event raised almost $10,000.
