Alexandria, VA – December 10, 2009 – The Club Managers Association of America announces a new program for the corporate community. The CMAA Affiliate Program gives participating companies in the club marketplace a formal connection to the Association at a modest fee. By showing their support of CMAA, Affiliates gain access to exclusive resources designed to strengthen their marketing initiatives.
CMAA Affiliates are differentiated from non-participating competitors in a variety of ways. Affiliates are permitted to use the licensed CMAA Affiliate logo to communicate their relationship to the Association. In addition, they are entitled to the following benefits:
* Listing as a CMAA Affiliate in the CMAA Buyer’s Guide and the CMAA Yearbook and Member Directory.
* Access to CMAA members and industry news and information.
* Entry to the CMAA Web site and online Affiliate resource center.
* Special pricing on select CMAA events, products and services.
* Eligibility for additional priority points toward premium placement on the CMAA exposition show floor.
* Free subscriptions to Club Management magazine and electronic CMAA publications.
* Savings and discounts on ETS credit card processing, Lands End Business Outfitters, and Club Management magazine advertising.
One of the most valuable benefits available to CMAA Affiliates is stronger networking with club management professionals through CMAA-hosted events. Affiliates are offered an unprecedented opportunity to interact with the club industry’s key decision makers.
“We look forward to the CMAA Affiliate Program’s success, which will translate into benefits for Association members,” says Ron Rosenbaum, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications. “The Affiliate roster will prove to be an important supplementary resource when club managers are conducting due diligence in selecting companies. In addition, through increased interaction with CMAA Affiliate companies, club managers will be able to share more information about their product and service needs and learn more about the vendors most committed to the continuous enhancement of clubs.”
