As most CMAA members regularly attend the annual World Conference, the Board schedules pre- and post-Conference Board meetings; there are also summer and fall (at LLC) Board meetings, generally scheduled for two days each.

Each Board member chairs a CMAA national committee that may require participation at NCW, which is typically held the first week of May.

As a National Director, you may be invited to attend other meetings. National Board members serve as CMAA representatives at various chapter and industry meetings annually. 

In addition to the obligatory travel time of National Board service, each Board member receives regular CMAA-related communications that may require action. For this reason, we require acknowledgment by the candidate’s Club Board noting their support of this important national volunteer role. 

A CMAA national leadership role also benefits your club. You will be on the mailing lists of virtually every major business group touching the club, hospitality, and golf industries. Your decisions will affect policies that involve our industry. Your vision will ensure that your members continue to experience the level of quality, business and leisure service that they have come to expect. You and your club will be recognized globally for your collective leadership commitment to this industry.
