The Club Foundation is pleased to announce the 2023 LaRocca Family Executive Scholars
Eduardo A Castillo, Executive Chef, and Ricardo “Rico” Ramirez, Executive Sous Chef, work together at The San Antonio Country Club, in San Antonio, TX.
In 2010, recognizing how much The Club Foundation has impacted their careers, the LaRocca Family stepped forward to give back to the industry by making a generous contribution to the Foundation. The LaRocca Family Executive Scholarship was created to both honor their commitment to professional development and to recognize their continued support of The Club Foundation. The vision behind the scholarship speaks to the long-standing industry culture to give, give back, and provide mentorship and nurturing to emerging leaders in the club profession.
The scholarship provides support to mentor-mentee teams, including one established, experienced club leader and his/her aspiring mentee.
Recipients of this scholarship receive funds for attendance at one BMI course for the mentor and support the mentee’s attendance at a conference or the cost of national and local membership payments.
“The LaRocca Family have long been stalwart supporters of the club management profession,” said CMAA President and CEO Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE. “Their generosity in supporting The Club Foundation with a dual component scholarship demonstrates the importance of mentorship within this industry and provides professional growth opportunities for both recipients.”
