Eric Thorsteinson Achieves
Internationally Recognized Certified Chief Executive (CCE) Designation
TORONTO, Ontario (March 7, 2025) – The Club Management Association of Canada (CMAC) is delighted to announce that Eric Thorsteinson, CCM, CCE, General Manager/COO of Silver Springs Golf and Country Club in Calgary, Alberta has attained the designation of Certified Chief Executive (CCE). The CCE designation was developed to recognize those managers who have shown the ability to successfully serve as the most senior manager in a club.
Meant to augment the Certified Club Manager (CCM) designation, seen as the “hallmark of professionalism” in the club industry, the CCE requires managers to have achieved the CCM designation, to have obtained Honour Society status by completing an additional 400 hours of education, to have successfully completed Business Management Institutes Tactical and Strategic Leadership, and to have served as the top executive in a club for a minimum of five years. The CCM designation was established by the Club Management Association of America in 1965. CMAC launched its certification program in Canada in 2004.
CMAC extends its sincere congratulations to Mr. Thorsteinson who will be recognized at the 2025 CMAC National Conference being held November 1-5, 2025 in Windsor, Ontario.
Please visit the CMAC website for more details on certification and the certification process.
