Executive
Officer’s
Report
Ralph Kober
Executive Officer
Regarding the CMAA Annual
Financial Report for 2016, members
are advised that the Club Managers’
Association Australia (CMAA)
organisation is made up of two parts:
CMAA Head Office Administration
and the Zones.
CMAA Head Office is responsible
for the Administration of the
Association, this includes:
membership, industrial relations,
professional development,
sponsorships, organising and running
conferences and summits, policy
development etc. The Zones raise
funds through activities which are
expended on member services
such as bursaries and professional
development.
Significant changes in financial
affairs for 2016:
The operating result of the
CMAA Head Office for the year
ended 31 December 2016 was a
profit of $158,495 (2015: profit
of $25,322). The CMAA Head
Office Administration operation
was affected with the following
significant financial affair during the
year:
• increased revenue from the
AHGE Expo of $26,500;
• further streamlining of training
operations resulting in $150,000
IQ 10
•
•
improvement in net cost;
the above savings funding
the introduction of a member
marketing campaign and
development of new courses.
The operating result of the Zone
was a net outflow of $23,518 (2015:
net outflow of $55,318) due to
their continued funding of member
education.
The consolidated operating result of
the Association for the year ended
31 December 2016 was a profit of
$134,977 (2015: loss of $29,996).
No provision for tax was necessary
as the Organisation is considered
exempt.
The CMAA National Managers
Conference 2017 will be held
at The STAR GOLD COAST, Gold
Coast Qld from Tuesday 11th July
through to Friday 14 July. The STAR
GOLD COAST has undergone a
total refurbishment of its hotel and
catering facilities and delegates
staying at the hotel will be
pleasantly surprised by the state of
the art finishes and offerings.
The Conference promises to deliver
a fantastic program of professional
development and educational
sessions and the option for those
looking to attain their Active
Certified Club Managers award
(ACCM) with the opportunity to
complete an ACCM educational
course pre conference.
An array of keynote speakers
have been engaged to present a
program that addresses a range
of management topics from
Leadership, Motivation, through to
Team Building, Digital Marketing
strategies, IT Security to prevent
Hacking and HR Workforce planning
strategies and more!
I urge you to consider attending this
event and to bring along a colleague
for what will be a rewarding
educational and networking
experience. Further we have held the
price for Members as we have for
the past 4 years at $850 plus GST.
I encourage Zone committees to
consider subsidising local engaged
members in assisting with the
costs of attending the conference
particularly those members form
smaller clubs whose finances are
stretched.

breakdown of speakers and topics

Managers Conference article on
