CONGRATULATIONS TO GSWC CMAA'S NEWEST CERTIFIED CLUB MANAGERS
Established in 1965, the CCM designation is the hallmark of professionalism in club management. It is a valuable, internationally recognized, and widely-respected mark of a manager’s long-term commitment to professional development and the club industry. In order to receive the CCM designation, one must invest time in specified educational requirements through the Business Management Institutes, attend the World Conference on Club Management, and maintain activity within their local chapter. After these conditions have been met, the individual must pass the CCM Exam.
