Alexandria, VA – The Club Managers Association of America is proud to announce that seven CMAA members have recently attained the designation of Certified Chief Executives. The Certified Chief Executive (CCE) designation was developed to recognize those managers who have shown the ability to successfully serve as the most senior manager in a club.

Meant to augment the Certified Club Manager designation, seen as the “hallmark of professionalism” in the club industry, the CCE requires managers to maintain Professional or Retired Professional membership status in the Association, to have achieved the CCM designation, to have obtained Honor Society status, to have successfully completed Business Management Institutes Tactical and Strategic Leadership, and to have served as the top executive in a club for a minimum of five years. 

The following members successfully met all CCE requirements:

• Darin Crippen, CCM, CCE, Wianno Club, Osterville, MA
• Friedrich Eder, CCM, CCE, The Muttontown Club, East Norwich, NY
• Carl Granberg, CCM, CCE , Rochester Golf & Country Club, Rochester, MN
• Joseph Krenn, CCM, CCE, Farmington Country Club, Charlottesville, VA
• Jason Macaulay, CCM, CCE, Highland Falls Country Club, Highland, NC
• Steve Malvinni, CCM, CCE, Vasari Country Club, Bonita Springs, FL

The Club Managers Association of America would like to extend sincere congratulations to its newly certified members and encourage them to continue their professional development in the future.
