The Club Managers Association of America (CMAA) is proud to announce the twelve club management professionals who have recently achieved the designation of Certified Club Manager (CCM). The CCM designation indicates that a club management professional has completed a rigorous course of study and training and shows a dedication to proficiency and expertise in club management. Established in 1965, the CCM designation is the global hallmark of professionalism in club management.
The CCM designation is a valuable and respected mark of a manager’s commitment to professional development and the club industry worldwide. In order to attain the CCM designation, an individual must invest time in specified education requirements including participation in the Business Management Institutes and other club-specific curriculum. After meeting these milestones, the individual must successfully pass the CCM Exam. Attainment of the CCM title shows a long-term commitment to professional development and club management.
