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.

CMAA Research Topics

The CMAA Research Committee met last month and have a list of topics ready to be delivered to the CMAA membership in the form of a survey. The results of this survey will prioritize the topics that CMAA members find beneficial to their clubs and the industry overall.

Master Club Manager Program (MCM) and Monographs

We would like to report that Professor SoJung Lee, Ph.D., CHE, has committed to supporting M. Kent Johnson, CCM, CCE, ECM, General Manager/COO at Baltimore Country Club with his MCM Monograph.

This collaboration is a direct result from our last SIG meeting which served to better inform and define the roles faculty may undertake within the association.

We would like to compile a list of SIG members who are interested in conducting research and your focus of study so that we can share this with CMAA.
