The Business End

Chris Keeble Sponsorship and Membership Manager

Once again I can’ t believe where the time goes. Already we are preparing for the end of year functions.
2016 has been a great year with lots of development and growth in many areas of our business.
New directions being instigated from our recent Strategic planning sessions, which have made for a busy time indeed.
You will now notice just how different the CMAA magazine is and with the new name Club IQ I hope you agree it has a fresh new look.
In fact over the coming weeks, all our collateral will be refreshed as we prepare for 2017’ s new directions.
You would have already received the new look fortnightly E Newsletter from our new partnership with The Drop.

If you are not a members of The Drop, now is the time. I’ ll be soon emailing a special joining fee offer for CMAA members only. Look out for that.
We are really working hard to lock down important dates for 2017, so your busy calendar can have some warnings!
Yep plenty going on, so we thought the sooner you can juggle your diary the better! We hope to see you at the zone events as well as Head Office events and summits.
Speaking of Summits, I’ m now working on one I did a few years back that was well received and has had many people ask if it will make a return!..” The entertainment Industry” can be very strange and un wielding for the novice and we recognise many small to medium clubs often don’ t have that dedicated person helping. We aim to de-myth the myths with this informative and fun day. This is scheduled for Tuesday 4th April at The Juniors Kingsford NSW. A great venue and a big supporter of live entertainment. Details and registration will be out and about soon.
Zoe Clegg and Ralph Kober are across all the others and there is plenty of subjects and scope to get you interested! Membership is growing at a steady rate and we hope with the new partnership with The Drop we will see more new members. One objective of the joint venture is that we can access another level of club managers who are not on our system and explain the features and benefits of becoming a member. Speaking of which, when you get a chance check out our new video on our website. it was in itself a fun project to produce and I think you will find it interesting. www. cmaa. asn. au
