Annual Great Country Clubs of the Midwest Symposium

The Annual Great Country Clubs of the Midwest Symposium is set to take place at the prestigious University Club of Chicago. This event promises to be an enriching experience for attendees, offering CMAA education credits as part of the symposium's offerings. Participants will have the unique opportunity to engage with Club Benchmarking, which will gather, analyze, and interpret data from participating clubs. The findings from this research will be shared with attendees through a printed survey booklet, and the CEO of Club Benchmarking, Ray Cronin, will present and discuss these insights during the event.The symposium features distinguished hosts, including John Spidalette, ECM from the University Club Chicago, John Guy, CCM from Westmoreland Country Club, and Chuck Scupham, CCM from Skokie Country Club. They have organized an engaging program, highlighted by a keynote address from the dynamic Gregg Patterson. Attendees can look forward to peer networking opportunities, motivational speakers, and a dedicated session focused on reviewing and analyzing the survey data. This analysis is crucial, as it contributes to the quality of the Symposium Report and fosters discussions surrounding financial, operational, and compensation benchmarks specific to the private club industry. The event also simplifies the data submission process, allowing participants to easily upload their financial and compensation data.
