The Club Management Association of Canada is a professional association representing the club management profession in Canada. Like other professions, there is a specific body of knowledge with defined competencies, academic training to develop those competencies, an accreditation/certification process and a defined Code of Ethics.
Professional development is one of the top reasons for members to join CMAC. Members regularly attend events such as Business Management Institute (BMI) courses, conferences or webinars to stay abreast of industry trends as well as to pursue certification.
