NCA Monthly: March 2025

Published on: April 2, 2025
   
 
Bucking the old saying, March came in and left like a lion at the National Club Association, where things stayed busy all month long—with a lot more to come in April.
 
President & CEO Joe Trauger kicked off the month at the Greater Chicago Regional Education Forum Expo, where he and NCA Vice President of Membership & Sales Katina Cavagnaro talked with club professionals and suppliers about NCA and the private club industry.
 
Next, Joe led a three-part series on club governance for the Wisconsin Badger and Chicago Chapters of CMAA; his sessions closely followed the jointly published Club Governance: A Handbook of Principles and Best Practices (the handbook's second edition will launch this month with new resources—keep an eye out!).
 
And late in March, he met with the professional staff of the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee to discuss reconciliation, including sharing the results of the economic impact study released in November.
 
NCA welcomed Liz Callahan to staff as marketing manager. Liz comes to the association from Utah Stories and Cypress Magazines and will work to grow awareness of NCA programs and resources. We're thrilled to have her onboard!
 
Just a few weeks remain until the 2025 National Club Conference, April 27-29 at the New York Athletic Club. Don’t miss an exciting lineup of education sessions, NCA’s Golf Tournament at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club, the Excellence in Club Management® Awards Dinner & Gala at the University Club of New York and the networking the Conference is known for. See the full agenda here and register today—we can't wait to see you there!
 
GGA Partners renewed its commitment to NCA and the private club community through a Premier Partnership.
