McMahon Group, Inc., the St. Louis-based consulting firm, and Club & Resort Business have announced the 2011 recipients of the Excellence in Club Management (ECM) Awards program, established in 1997 by the McMahon Group and co-sponsored since 2005 by C&RB.

The annual awards are selected through nominations submitted on behalf of qualified candidates by other parties. Award recipients are selected solely on the basis of their achievements at the club they currently manage; “lifetime achievements” are not considered.
A Selection Committee comprised of a peer group of club managers conducts the judging; the McMahon Group and Club & Resort Business are not involved in the selection of the award winners.
A full listing of judges, in addition to information on past winners and on how to nominate candidates for future years’ awards, can be found at the special website for the ECM Awards program, www.clubmanageraward.com
In-depth articles detailing the achievements that led to the selection of each of the 2011 winners will appear in upcoming issues of Club & Resort Business.
The 2011 group has five award winners, because of a tie that resulted from the judging in one category.
In addition to presentations at their individual clubs that will be held throughout the coming year, the 2011 Excellence in Club Management winners, along with those from previous years, will
be recognized at an Awards Dinner to be held at the New Orleans Country Club on Friday, February 24, in conjunction with the 2012 World Conference of the Club Managers Association of America.
This year’s Awards Dinner will be sponsored by Bollinger Insurance Solutions, Global Allies, and Toro.
