Alexandria, VA – March 3, 2011 – The Club Managers Association of America announced today that it has named 46 new Certified Club Managers. This number represents a particularly large class of managers to receive this designation. By achieving the CCM designation, these club managers are recognized for their expertise in and commitment to the club industry.
“I am immensely pleased that so many club management professionals made a statement regarding their commitment to professional development by gaining their CCM,” said CMAA CEO Jim Singerling, CCM, CEC. “I commend each of these individuals for doing their part to advance the quality of their profession and to enhance the perception of club managers.”
