Golf Management Australia (GMA) in partnership with Golf Australia and the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA) is to offer the first ever Business Management Institute (BMI) program to Australian club managers, with the first module to be delivered in October 2018.

The ultimate club manager professional development program, delivered within an open learning environment, enables shared experiences to be explored within each workshop session. It provides outstanding industry wide networking opportunities capable of providing career long support to all BMI participants.

The BMI is delivered to an agreed international certification standard, with the program aligned with the CMAA. The BMI program now has a presence in approximately 30 countries across the world, with the program being delivered by these organisations.

The BMI program contains four modules, each completed in five-day blocks:

• BMI Club Management
• BMI Leadership Principles
• BMI General Manager/Chief Operating Officer
• BMI Food & Beverage Management or BMI Course and Golf Management

Each module is broken into sessions adapted to the Australian business operating environment.

Sessions are delivered in an open workshop style allowing for regular discussion of managers’ shared experience.

Sessions are led by expert facilitators including Professor Geoffrey Dickson, Associate Professor of Sport Management at Latrobe University as lead facilitator, supported by Dr David Shilbury, Professor of Sport Management and Director of Deakin Sport Network, Deakin University and Dr Jason Koenigsfeld, Senior Vice President of Professional Development at CMAA.
