CMAA sets forth these policies and procedures that will be followed with respect to the Association honoring the education credits requested by CMAA members and other individuals attending CMAA educational programs who seek education credits to maintain their Certified Club Manager (CCM), Certified Chief Executive (CCE), or Master Club Manager (MCM) designation(s).

CMAA is committed to promoting club management as a valued profession and fostering an environment where capability and integrity are valued. Individuals may only receive education credits for educational sessions that they attend in full. Accordingly, credits will only be given for one session occurring in each time block at CMAA-sponsored or approved conferences, programs, and chapter events.

When requesting education credits for sessions attended, individuals shall be required to certify as to the accuracy of the information submitted. Inaccurate or materially false reporting shall be considered a violation of this Credit Reporting Policy.

In the event that an individual requests credits for multiple education sessions occurring during the same time block or otherwise requests credits for education sessions that the individual did not attend in full, the Education Department of CMAA will not recognize such credits.

CMAA has established minimum expectations of behavior for participants at all CMAA programs, events, and conferences both in-person and online. This policy applies to all individuals attending CMAA Events. It is intended to supplement any other applicable CMAA policies, including the CMAA Code of Conduct and Ethics. Review the full policy.
