From a CMAA Student
to a CMAA Manager
Alumnus Membership – This category of membership is available to all
former student members of the Association who are making the transition from a
student to a professional in the club industry. Once a management position has
been acquired, and you are eligible for professional membership, this category
provides a dues break (half the prevailing professional dues rate), for the first two
years of membership.
**Student membership can be renewed for
up to two years after graduation or until a
job in the field of club management has
been obtained – whichever is first. Once
employed by a club, student members
advance to professional membership status
through application with their local senior
chapter. The first step toward achieving the
Certified Club Manager (CCM) designation
starts when you become a professional
member.
