Last week I had the honor to attended the Club Managers Assn of America (CMAA) Mid-Management Conference. We got to see many inspiring clubs, hear for great speakers, and meet others in the industry that are doing great things at their clubs! This week the beautiful ARIZONA COUNTRY CLUB hosted the Distinguished Clubs Ideas Summit, education sessions. We heard from speakers with a wealth of knowledge. Then had a beautiful dinner at Paradise Valley Country Club. Thank you to both Club Managers Assn of America (CMAA) and Distinguished Clubs for continuing to provide learning opportunities for so many of us!
