Sharing knowledge has been the hallmark of the Club Managers Association of America since its inception. Used to showcase innovative ideas and programs at clubs, the Idea Fair is a potpourri of the best CMAA's membership has to offer. Each CMAA member is encouraged to enter and exchange ideas.

Each year, winners are appropriately recognized at the World Conference and Exposition. The following are the entries for the 74th World Conference Idea Fair held in San Diego, California, January 28 - February 1, 2001.
