McMahon Group Inc., the St. Louis-based consulting firm, and Club & Resort Business have announced the 2008 recipients of the Excellence in Club Management Award program, established in 1997 by McMahon Group and co-sponsored since 2005 by C&RB. In addition to ceremonies at their individual clubs, the winners, along with those from previous years, will be recognized at an Awards Dinner to be held at New Orleans Country Club during the 2009 Golf Industry Show. Also, details about the winners’ backgrounds will be featured in the December issue of C&RB.
In-depth articles detailing the achievements that led to the selection of the 2008 winners, and question-and-answer interviews with each winner, will appear in upcoming issues of Club & Resort Business in 2009.
The annual awards are selected through nominations submitted on behalf of qualified candidates by other parties. Award recipients are selected solely on the basis of their achievements at the club they currently manage; lifetime achievements are not considered.
A Selection Committee comprised of a peer group of club managers conducts judging: the McMahon Group and Club & Resort Business are not involved in the selection of the award winners.
The winners include: Brian R. Kroh, CCM, General Manager, John’s Island Club (Vero Beach, Fla.) for Country/Golf Clubs with 600 or More Full-Privilege Members; Charles Scupham, General Manager, Skokie Country Club (Glencoe, Ill.) for Country/Golf Clubs with Under 600 Full-Privilege Members; Carlos W. Cook, Club Manager, North Hills Club (Raleigh, N.C.) for City/Athletic or Specialty (Non-Golf) Clubs of All Types. The Rising Star Award recipient for 2008 is Craig K. Cutler, Assistant Manager, Detroit (Mich.) Athletic Club.
