(WESLEY CHAPEL, FL) – International Club Suppliers (ICS) – the sales and marketing arm for entegra Procurement Services (entegra) in the golf club and resort channel – announces new 2012 partnerships with the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA).
ICS will enjoy enhanced access to members of both the Golden State and Carolinas chapters. Participation in chapter-wide conferences, as well as opportunities to promote brand education and awareness are among the partnership highlights.
In turn, chapter members will receive regular updates and education pertaining to ICS’s entegra program. Its significant cost reductions for dairy, produce, dry goods, meat, cleaning supplies, paper products, flatware, glassware, linens and office supplies will be communicated through a variety of channels. Ken’s, Sara Lee, Maxwell House and Smucker’s are among the company’s featured brands.
“On the heels of exhibiting last month at the CMAA World Conference and Expo in New Orleans, we’re delighted to announce new partnerships with two of the CMAA’s most influential chapters,” says Jim Bailey, Managing Partner of ICS. “We’re excited to enjoy an enhanced platform to relay the benefits of ICS to hundreds of club managers on both coasts.”
With 475 members representing more than 250 private clubs across California, the Golden State chapter is the second-largest of the CMAA’s 46 professional chapters. The Carolinas is comprised of approximately 350 members throughout North and South Carolina.
More than 1,800 golf and club operations currently benefit from the entegra program, realizing immediate, front-end savings of up to 12 percent on entegra-contracted products.
