2014 Student Development Chair

Welcome to Chicago!

The Chicago Club Managers

Foundation was created in

1998 as a non-profit organiza-

tion. The purpose of the Foun-

dation is two-fold.

The first is to provide scholar-

ships to deserving students

who attend hospitality schools

at colleges and universities

throughout the United States

and show a desire to seek a

career in the Club Management

field.

The second purpose is to

create and fund outstanding

training and continuing educa-

tion opportunities tailored di-

rectly to the needs of both the

novice and practicing club

manager in the Chicagoland

area.

Through this we hope to at-

tract "the best and the bright-

est" to our chosen profession.

Your interest in the Private Club Industry.
