John and Andrea Dorman Fund Endowed to Support New Scholarship
Alexandria, VA—John Philip Dorman, CCM, and his wife, Andrea Dorman, initiated the John and Andrea Dorman Fund at The Club Foundation, reflecting their shared commitment to give back to the club industry.
John Dorman has been a dedicated member of the Club Management Association of America (CMAA) since joining the association in 1997 and has led the University Club of New York for nearly 30 years. He has served the City of New York Chapter in various capacities, including three years as President of the Board, and has also contributed to the CMAA National Board of Directors, as well as numerous committees and task forces at both the national and local levels.
Andrea Dorman held a deep appreciation for people and community. She participated in many social organizations, both formally and informally. Alongside John, she attended many events for CMAA, the Distinguished Clubs of the World, and the City Athletic Club Managers group and had a strong affiliation with the Culinary Institute of America.
Andrea passed away in March, and her legacy will continue through this Fund and her many other contributions.
Revenue from the funds endowed will be used to fuel the John and Andrea Dorman Scholarship at The Club Foundation. The scholarship supports emerging leaders in the industry by providing financial assistance to attend CMAA’s Business Management Institutes (BMI).
“The addition of the John and Andrea Dorman Scholarship is a vital enhancement to The Club Foundation’s portfolio of scholarships and grants supporting CMAA members. We are deeply grateful to John and Andrea for their forward-thinking generosity,” said Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE, President and CEO, Club Management Association of America.
