Canadian Society of Club Managers

The Canadian Society of Club Managers is the national professional society for individuals involved in the club management profession in Canada.

Since 1957, we have been supporting our members with education, networking and member events to facilitate our members being the best in the industry.

Clubs from coast to coast play a huge role in the Canadian economy.

Club management involves managing issues such as taxation, governance, labour and corporate law, financial planning, reporting and control, integrated maintenance programs, food and beverage operations, and environmental issues.

Every private club has a group of people working behind the scenes to make the operation successful. These club career options include positions in accounting, administration, human resources, marketing, membership and public relations.

Career Transition

Change is a constant in society and business. The club industry is no different. Below are some suggestions that will help those who have recently lost their jobs deal with emotions, lifestyle, job hunting, networking and finances that may be overwhelming. 

When transitioning from one job to another, remember these important points:

• Take care of yourself physically and mentally

• Spend time researching and implementing job search strategies

• Network

• Educate yourself about entitlement, severance pay and finances

The private club industry provides students with a prestigious environment in which they can grow and develop into committed service professionals.

Private clubs provide high levels of training by dedicated service professionals in interesting and fun work environments. They offer many career choices under one roof and the opportunity to work with people on a daily basis with no two days being alike.
