The Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) is proud to announce that Mike McKenna, General Manager of Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand, has successfully earned the distinguished Certified Club Manager (CCM) designation. Recognised globally as the hallmark of excellence in club management, the CCM designation reflects a deep commitment to professional development, operational expertise, and strategic leadership within the private club industry.
McKenna’s achievement is a significant milestone in his career, underscoring his dedication to the highest standards of club management and his leadership at one of Asia’s most prominent clubs.
Torbjorn Johansson, CEO of CMAE, stated: “Mike’s success in earning the CCM designation is a reflection of his hard work, experience, and continuous pursuit of excellence.
