FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Corinne Grimaldi Carolinas Chapter Announces Three-Year Gold Sponsorship with E-Z-GO and Jacobsen Charlotte, NC – The Carolinas Chapter of the Club Managers Association of America is pleased to announce E-Z-GO and Jacobsen’s renewed commitment to the Carolinas Sponsorship Program with an increased level of support to a three-year agreement as a Gold Sponsor, valued at $15,000/year. E-Z-GO and Jacobsen began their relationship with the Carolinas in 2012 as a Silver Sponsor. Their renewed three-year commitment and increased sponsorship level speaks volumes to the partnership that has formed over the years and to E-Z-GO and Jacobsen’s unwavering support of the Carolinas Chapter, the Carolinas Club Foundation (CCF) and their collective efforts to deliver outstanding education, networking opportunities and services to Chapter members. “The Carolinas Chapter is very fortunate to have such a high-quality group of sponsors, with E-Z-GO and Jacobsen up there with the best,” expressed Clint Wood, CCM, CCE, Carolinas Chapter Past President. “I work with both companies at my club every day and, in addition to their support of our Chapter, I can truly attest to their commitment to their customer and the industry as a whole.” As a Platinum Corporate Advantage Partner of CMAA National, E-Z-GO understands the Association’s ideals, which is further evidenced by their local dedication to the Carolinas Chapter. “E-ZGO is excited to continue and strengthen our partnership with the Carolinas Chapter as they are an integral part of our business,” said Dennis Brouillard, Sales Representative for E-Z-GO. “We are committed to continuing this relationship and to growing it in the future as our sales force interacts with club managers on a daily basis, providing the finest products and the highest level of service to ensure we meet their needs. This opportunity to support our customers is paramount to our success.” Both E-Z-GO and Jacobsen are Textron Companies, with Jacobsen’s US headquarters located in the heart of the Carolinas. “Club managers are a vital part of our industry and it makes perfect sense for Jacobsen to support CMAA,” said Josh Haggas, Corporate Accounts Manager for Jacobsen. “We extend the partnership to our strong distribution partner, Tri-State Pump & Control (TSP), who is widely respected throughout the Carolinas as a trusted partner and go-to turf equipment provider.” # # # The Carolinas Chapter of the Club Managers Association of America is the professional Association for managers of membership clubs.
