Allied Association Reciprocal Agreements

As the job of the general manager/chief operating or executive officer of a club continues to change, the need for specialized training in the area of golf shop operations and golf course maintenance becomes more necessary. Therefore, CMAA has entered into agreements with both the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), PGA of America and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) to make their professional development programs available to CMAA members at their member pricing.
