Be the first person to recommend this.
Hello CMAA Leaders! The team and I are in the midst of drafting CMAA’s next Strategic Plan, and one of the areas of discussion has been education for club executives. As leadership competencies are changing at a pace that we need to continually “sharpen the saw” on our skills, should CMAA’s Certified Chief Executive (CCE) certification evolve? I think we all would say yes, as each of us goes about our own leadership journey. So, I started thinking about what are those new or evolving leadership competencies. Our world is characterized by rapid technological advancements, shifting demographics, and ever-changing global and local challenges, ...

February 2023: Broadening Our CMAA Communities

Be the first person to recommend this.
Hello CMAA! I hope to see many of you at the World Conference and Club Business Expo later this month. We have excellent registration numbers that have exceeded our member and supplier expectations. To accommodate everyone, we added two additional hotels for attendees, and we will be running a daily shuttle to/from those satellite properties. I suspect this may be a post-COVID anomaly as last year some members and suppliers were still uncomfortable with travel and vaccine requirements. I am so glad those days are behind us. I am excited for the World Conference, and I look forward to sharing about CMAA during the Opening Business session. One area I will ...

November 2022: What Makes a Great Volunteer?

By Jeffrey Morgan posted 11-15-2022
Be the first person to recommend this.
Hello CMAA! One thing we all have in common is volunteers who shape our clubs and our Association. We all have volunteer committee members, and/or board members. A legal definition would share that a volunteer “is an individual who performs hours of service for a public agency for civic, charitable, or humanitarian reasons, without promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation for services rendered.” Many state statutes indicate “any volunteer shall be immune from civil liability in any action on the basis of any act or omission of a volunteer resulting in damage or injury if: 1) The volunteer was acting in good faith and within the scope of such volunteer's ...
