Graduated Seniors: Is it Time for You to Join as an Alumnus Member?

Congratulations to our graduating seniors! Have you secured a management position in the club industry? If so, it’s time to join CMAA as an Alumnus member.

Simply log into your CMAA account and join as an Alumnus member. Once the process is complete and your join date is established, your Alumnus years (you are eligible for the status for two years) count towards your six Professional years needed to be eligible to sit for the Certified Club Manager exam. Alumnus status is a Professional classification, the only difference is that you receive a dues break for the first two years of your membership, at which point you automatically change to a Professional member.

Congratulations once again! Please contact Alanna Eckard with any questions about joining as an Alumnus member.
