Sarah Mottola has been with The Woodside Club since the doors opened nearly a decade ago. She was born into the hospitality industry as she spent her childhood growing up in her father’s catering business. This experience at such a young age afforded her the opportunity to not only understand the time and energy it takes to succeed but to cultivate her passion. While attending SUNY Cortland for Early Childhood Education, she worked as a server in a high-end restaurant and what began as a means to supplement her life as a college student, quickly reminded her of her natural ability and love for the job. After years of various positions in the restaurant business, Sarah solidified her career change when she was referred by the Executive Chef of the Woodside Club for the position of Food & Beverage Director.  By her second year, she earned the additional title of Member Liaison by way of her natural rapport with members and her skills at delivering five-star service. Sarah was quickly promoted to Clubhouse Manager by 2015 and has played a vital role in supporting what the Woodside Club is today. She has assisted in building the longstanding roster of returning members, as well as facilitating numerous accomplished events including golf outings, corporate functions, and private events for Woodside Club members and non-members alike. In 2019, she has taken on the role of Special Events Director to focus on the burgeoning wedding business, all while continuing to expand on the relationships she has built with clients and members since her first day.
