The designation through the Club Managers Association of America indicates a long-term commitment to professional development and club management.

The Club Managers Association of America is proud to announce today that it has named 15 new Certified Club Managers. The CCM designation indicates that a club management professional has completed a rigorous course of study and training and shows a dedication to, proficiency and expertise in club management.

The CCM has been the hallmark of professionalism in club management since 1965 and is the cornerstone of CMAA’s member recognition program.
