Award Applications

The Golden State Chapter Foundation proudly supports the continuing education and professional advancement of club managers through two annual award programs. These awards are designed to help offset the costs associated with pursuing CMAA’s professional certifications, specifically the Certified Club Manager (CCM) and Certified Club Executive (CCE) designations. These programs reflect our commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders and enhancing excellence across the private club industry.
