CMAE members who are currently enrolled as MDP delegates benefit from complimentary registration for the CMAA World Conference in the USA each year, which usually costs around $750!
CMAE E-NEWSLETTER
All CMAE members receive ClubNetworker, our monthly e-newsletter which is packed full of information and news about the activities of the CMAE, regions and affiliate partners, industry news and jobs, events diary and much more.

GLOBAL NETWORK
Membership of the CMAE gives you the chance to meet and build relationships with colleagues doing the same jobs at clubs all over Europe, and also in the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and many other regions of the world. These relationships can not only be personally beneficial, but also for members of the club where you work. You can help them perhaps visit and experience some of the great clubs of the world, and this will help you, as their club manager, clearly establish yourself as the professional club manager and the source of expertise and knowledge in your field.
