2024 Call for Nominations

Annually, Club Management magazine recognizes excellence in club leadership with the Club Executive of the Year Award. Originally known as the Club Manager of the Year, this distinction was created in 1985 by Club Management magazine to honor an individual who by his or her achievements best represents the qualities found in hard-working, dedicated club management leaders. In 2008, the award was re-titled to mirror the evolution of the profession.

Today, the distinction highlights one club management professional annually who demonstrates mentoring, creates a supportive club culture, and sustains ongoing engagement with their local CMAA Chapter.

CMAA welcomes and encourages nominations from diverse backgrounds and work experiences.

2024 Nominations must include specifics on how the nominee has fostered and embraced the three criteria in the past one to three years:

Mentoring;
Creating a club culture which supports the staff team through on-going educational opportunities and crisis assistance; and
Demonstrating sustained engagement with their local CMAA Chapter.

Review the full criteria, judging process, and notification process below.

Help us honor an extraordinary club management professional who has truly raised the bar in club management and within the CMAA community.

All nominations must be received by September 10.
