McMahon Group, Inc., the St. Louis-based consulting firm, and Club & Resort Business have announced the 2013 recipients of the Excellence in Club Management (ECM) Awards program, established in 1997 by the McMahon Group and co-sponsored since 2005 by C&RB.
The 2013 ECM Award winners are:
• The James H. Brewer Award (Country/Golf Clubs with Over 600 Full-Privilege Members)—Tony D’Errico, CCM, CCE, General Manager/COO, Westwood Country Club, St. Louis, Mo.

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 the judging; the McMahon Group and Club & Resort Business are not involved in the selection of the award winners.
A full listing of judges, in addition to information on past winners and on how to nominate candidates for future years’ awards, can be found at the special website for the ECM Awards program, www.clubmanageraward.com
In addition to presentations at their individual clubs, the winners will be honored at the Excellence in Club Management Awards Dinner, to be held on Friday, February 7 at The Country Club of Orlando, in conjunction with the 2014 World Conference of the Club Managers Association of America.
In-depth articles detailing the achievements that led to the selection of each of the 2013 winners will appear in upcoming issues of Club & Resort Business.
