Alexandria, VA – The Club Foundation announces the 2025 recipient of the inaugural DeLozier Family Scholarship. This award provides the recipient support for a variety of professional development opportunities plus career support from the DeLozier Group. This year’s inaugural awardee is Bryan Harrison, CCM, who currently serves as General Manager of the New Albany Country Club in New Albany, OH.
The DeLozier Family initiated this scholarship to support the advancement and career development of individuals who are underrepresented in the club management profession. The club industry is a family affair for the DeLoziers, and they have been deeply rooted in the industry for decades. In gratitude for an industry that has enriched their lives, they created the DeLozier Family Scholarship Fund in 2024.
Patrick DeLozier, CCM, shares “Our industry thrives because of individuals with a genuine heart for hospitality, the determination to grow, and the diverse perspectives that strengthen our profession. That spirit is what inspires our family’s commitment to supporting emerging leaders through this scholarship. The future of hospitality rests in the hands of those willing to serve, learn, and lead with purpose. We are honored to help make that future more accessible for passionate professionals from all backgrounds, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to see this inaugural award come to life.” Read more about the fund.
