Club Management Institute
CMAA’s professional development program is under the direction of the Club Management Institute (CMI). CMI is responsible for developing and maintaining programs that offer club managers the most advanced principles and precepts of professional club management. CMI oversees hundreds of programs for chapters, regional meetings, and the annual CMAA World Conference.
Lifetime Professional Development
The leaders of CMAA had the vision and foresight to establish a lifetime, campus-based professional development program for managers at all stages of their careers. This vision has been realized in the Business Management Institute (BMI). BMI is a six-level course curriculum with additional BMI elective programs and is housed at renowned universities offering hospitality programs across the nation. Courses offer technical and professional instruction on the day-to-day and long-term facets of club management. Each program is an intensive five-day, 40-hour learning experience taught by expert university faculty, industry professionals and veteran club managers. BMI consists of a multi-tiered, highly structured system to serve those ranging in experience from entry-level managers to club executives at the pinnacle of their careers.
BMI programs are:
- BMI I: Club Management

World Conference on Club Management
Held annually in major U.S. cities, the CMAA World Conference is the centerpiece of the association’s programs and activities. More than 5,000 people from around the world — managers from diverse club environments and a variety of industry professionals and suppliers — attend this week-long event during which association business, nearly 100 cutting-edge education programs and the largest club-specific trade show take place.
Annual Leadership/Legislative Conference
CMAA’s Annual Leadership/Legislative Conference (LLC) hosts expert presentations on leadership skill-building and legislative/regulatory developments that have immediate impact on the club industry. This highly participatory program is designed to provide officers and chairpersons of CMAA chapters as well as national committee members with education and training to successfully accomplish their leadership and professional goals. Scheduled programs emphasize the nuts and bolts of chapter administration and provide checklists that clearly outline role responsibilities and important CMAA initiatives. |
