What do you get for your CMAA Membership fee ? This is a question I am asked occasionally by members and is one that until it is spelled out it is easy to make assumptions that CMAA Membership is a little light on !
Well I am happy to spell it out and encourage you to continue to be part of this wonderful fraternity which is the only one of its type in the club industry . Remember CMAA represents the individual manager whilst other Associations represent the board and the club .
CMAA provides a host of benefits to members which sometimes need to be highlighted and re-emphasised .
Your yearly membership fee is lower in cost than United Voice and comparable professional membership affiliations .
