MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Introduction
The Club Managers Association of Europe (CMAE) was formed in
April 2001 by leading club managers keen to network and create a
structured education programme to support them in their roles at
their clubs and lay down a framework from which future managers
would benefit.
The CMAE’s Management Development Programme
(MDP) described in this brochure, is therefore the result of over 10
years of work by a dedicated group of club managers, educationalists
and leading industry figures worldwide, to whom the CMAE and
the club industry owe a debt of gratitude. They are listed in the
acknowledgements section at the back of this brochure.
The CMAE MDP is a series of courses and learning opportunities
designed not only for those working as club general managers, club
secretaries and in other senior positions at sports, city and business
clubs today, but also for those who aspire to these roles in the future.
Whether you are a student leaving university seeking a career in
club management, an existing club manager seeking to improve your
knowledge and skills, or an established business manager seeking
a new challenge in the club industry, the CMAE Management
Development Programme is for you.
