Chasing excellence in leadership is more vital than ever for mid to high-level private clubs. In his insightful piece, Manny Gugliuzza, CCM, CCE, principal and search consultant at GSI Executive Search - Club, Resort and Hospitality Industry, explores the evolving challenges of finding exceptional club leaders amidst a shrinking talent pool. He highlights how demographic shifts, pandemic disruptions, and the increasing complexity of club roles demand innovative recruitment strategies and long-term leadership development. By broadening the search beyond traditional pipelines, tapping into adjacent industries, and investing in internal talent growth, clubs can secure visionary leaders who balance financial acumen, operational excellence, and unparalleled member experiences. #LeadershipExcellence #ClubLeadership #ExecutiveSearch #BoardRoommagazine #GSIExecutiveSearch #LeadershipDevelopment #PrivateClubIndustry #BoardRoomBriefs

Golf clubs can face closure even amid a surge in participation. According to Larry Hirsh, CRE, MAI, SGA of Golf Property Analysts, many closures are preventable through early planning, realistic market positioning, and strong leadership. Turning around a golf course is like turning a big ship—start before a crisis hits. Assess the market thoroughly, align facility improvements with your target audience, and ensure professionals guide your strategy. When you address problems proactively—2 to 5 years in advance—you stand a much better chance of steering clear of forced sales, bankruptcies or closures. #GolfCourseManagement #GolfCourse #GolfCourseClosure #BoardRoommagazine #BoardRoomBriefs

A recent McMahon Group survey of nearly 400 club leaders revealed that improving the member experience is the top priority for 2024. Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS) knows a fair, secure and transparent voting process is crucial for fostering trust and engagement. “Our members have a wide range of technology experience,” said Catherine Tirino, office manager at Gleneagles Country Club, “Those who cast their ballots online were very satisfied with the process.” By streamlining election management, clubs can enhance the member experience, boost participation, and build stronger communities in the year ahead. #Governance #PrivateClubIndustry #BoardRoommagazine #BoardRoomBriefs #Elections #Board

Distrust is rising in private clubs as members demand greater transparency, leaving dedicated board members feeling frustrated. Henry DeLozier, partner with GGA Partners™ reminds us, “Members – whether skeptical or not – want to know more. And no matter how much ‘more’ the board provides, members assume that something is being withheld.” To address this, board members should consistently follow through on commitments, maintain open communication, and transparently report performance results. By focusing on these strategies, boards can build trust and create a more reliable community. #Leadership #Trust #Transparency #BoardGovernance #boardroommagazine #boardroombriefs

Custom merchandise is essential for maintaining the identity and exclusivity of private clubs. At Naples Yacht Club, personalized high-quality items symbolize member pride and distinguish the club from others. “We wanted custom pieces, not the same pattern from a few companies that you can find at other clubs just with a different embroidered logo,” said Hallie Girardeau, SHRM-SCP, CCM, general manager. This focus on bespoke merchandise fosters a unique club culture and enhances member satisfaction. From exclusive apparel to thoughtful seasonal items, Naples Yacht Club ensures each piece is special and cherished. Discover how custom merchandise can build community and pride within your club. #PrivateClubs #ClubMerchandise #MemberExperience #ExclusiveDesign #boardroommagazine #boardroombriefs #YachtClub
