Professional Development
The Business Management Institute
In the early 1980s, CMAA’s leaders saw the need for a formal academic program for club industry professionals. Taking into consideration that managers at all phases of their careers need instruction, education or inspiration, the concept of the “lifetime professional development program” was born. The vision was realized as a multi-campus-based program that provides tangible career benchmarks by which managers can track their progress and strive for various levels of competency, including a respected certification. These on campus programs became known as the Business Management Institute (BMI) programs. CMAA currently offers the following BMI programs:
- BMI Club Management
- BMI Leadership Principals
- BMI General Manager/Chief Operating Officer
- BMI Tactical Leadership
- BMI Strategic Leadership
- BMI Golf Management
- BMI International
- BMI Food & Beverage Management
- BMI Sport & Recreation Management
