FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Corinne Grimaldi Carolinas Chapter Announces Gold Sponsor: S&D Coffee & Tea Charlotte, NC – The Carolinas Chapter of the Club Managers Association of America is pleased to announce the addition of S&D Coffee & Tea (S&D) as a Gold Sponsor in the Carolinas Sponsorship Program. This partnership represents a one-year, $15,000 commitment by S&D Coffee & Tea to support the Carolinas Chapter and the Carolinas Club Foundation (CCF) in its efforts to deliver outstanding education, networking opportunities and services to its members. “With the S&D Coffee & Tea headquarters located in the heart of North Carolina, it makes perfect sense that the Carolinas Chapter and S&D work together,” stated Chapter Vice President, Tom DeLozier, CCM. “S&D has been an exceptional partner to our club for more than two decades, proving business solutions to our beverage program for both club operations and tournament activity.” Tom further expressed how fortunate the Chapter is “to partner with a company that has a strong local presence and a global vision that, through networking and education, can be of great benefit to all of us in the industry of club management.” The venture truly is more than just a sponsorship; it is a valued partnership, as S&D has already embraced the Chapter’s emerging Young Professionals Network (YPN) and has committed to support the YPN through thought-leadership and collaboration. “When the YPN initiative was brought forth by the Chapter Board, our ears perked up at S&D Coffee & Tea,” said Slade Goldstein, National Account Manager, Country Clubs and Resorts, S&D Coffee & Tea. “Leadership development and support is a core tenant at S&D and we are delighted to be a strategic partner in the development of this initiative within the Chapter.” Slade went on to share that, “contributing to the growth of the young professionals in the Carolinas Chapter and at S&D Coffee & Tea provides both entities the opportunity to ensure we will continue to provide thoughtful and meaningful leadership sought out by others.” As a Gold Sponsor, S&D Coffee & Tea will be the presenting sponsor of the Fall Chapter Meeting, to be held in Charlotte, NC, from October 15-17, 2016. S&D will also be host to a Piedmont Region Meeting on March 7, 2016, at their facility in Concord, NC. # # # The Carolinas Chapter of the Club Managers Association of America is the professional Association for managers of membership clubs.
