Club Management SIG

Our group was formed with the purpose of advancing Public and Private Club awareness through educational and networking platforms. The Club Management SIG provides opportunities for faculty, industry representatives, and students to collaborate, share information, and offer teaching, guest speaking, site visitations, research opportunities, grants, and student scholarships through our variety of available resources.

Our Mission: To ensure that the private club segment is incorporated into academic conversations and communicated as a preferred hospitality career pathway.
