FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alexandria, VA – November 20, 2009 – CMAA has announced the release of a new resource for the club industry. Managing the HOA-Residential Golf Community takes an in-depth look into the unique job of golf community manager.
Nearly 3,000 master-planned residential golf communities have been built, and each requires a manager to direct its operation. Yet the skills and competencies needed to lead this special type of club differ significantly from those required of a manager of a typical member-owned club. Managing the HOA-Residential Golf Community explores how the manager who is new to this setting can embrace and understand the nontraditional club features inherent in such club-communities. In this resource, managers will find insights on working with a developer who is exiting the project, dealing with the expectations of the member-residents and enforcing the covenants, codes and restrictions of the development’s homeowners association.
Managing the HOA-Residential Golf Community was written by several co-authors with experience in the club industry. They include experienced managers of gated golf communities and licensed community association managers; financial, insurance and tax professionals; attorneys; and industry consultants. Case studies, which appear throughout the resource, give theoretical and real-world examples of problems that face managers and practical solutions.
Managing the HOA-Residential Golf Community is available from CMAA’s Bookmart as a binder-ready packet (#3081HC, CMAA Members $70; Non-Members $100) and in an electronic PDF format (#3081, CMAA Members $55). For more information or to order, go to Bookmart’s “New Products” at www.cmaa.org/bookmart.
