CMDA Report Zoe Clegg Professional Development Manager Firstly I would like to thank our members for welcoming me to the CMAA family and their support over the last 12 months it has been greatly appreciated! I would also like to thank my CMAA Team, especially my two great staff, Brad and Estelle, thank you for all your help and support I am looking forward to another great year with you! 2017 was a big year for the CMDA and this year is shaping up to be even bigger!! Last year we made some significant changes to our training department and welcomed our new educational Partnership, AIM, Bullseye, PCM and ADMA. This year our focus is career pathways for managers and making sure they are doing the right training at the right time in their career. Training is not a ones size fits all, it needs to pragmatic and relevant to Managers. We have been working closely with AIM on developing a program that delivers just that. This Program will also include the ACCM and a Diploma in Leadership and Management. Data driven marketing has become a significant part of Clubs marketing strategies, with this in mind, we have worked with ADMA, the gurus in data driven marketing, to put together specific bundles for the Club industry. The Bundles have we developed to ensure Clubs are, firstly collecting the correct data, but translating this into effective data driven marketing strategies for their Clubs. Just as important as doing the right training is having the right support throughout your career, I know this was a huge part of my development and career progression. So, we are very excited to announce our new Mentoring Program! The Program was officially launched at the AHGE Brisbane in March, with applications opening in April. Mentoring is one of the most powerful and impactful development methods an organisation can use to support and grow its people from within. It brings significant, long lasting and wide-ranging benefits not only to the mentees and mentors, but also to teams, the wider organisation as well as to key third parties such as the mentees’ line manager. Along with these great new programs we will still be delivering Summits and training in your local areas and of course don’t forget to register for the Mid- Year conference in July at Jupiter’s! If you would like any further information on any of our new and you are ready to take the next step in your career contact us today to discuss a specific development program just for you! IQ 13
