In 2010, the LaRocca Family stepped forward to give back to The Club Foundation and the industry by making a generous contribution to the Foundation in support of a new scholarship program. The LaRocca Family Executive Scholarship was created to both honor the family’s commitment to professional development and to recognize their continued support of The Club Foundation. The vision behind the scholarship speaks to the long-standing club industry culture to give, give back, and provide mentorship and nurturing to emerging leaders in the club profession.
Recipients of this scholarship receive funds for attendance at one Business Management Institute (BMI) for the mentor and support the mentee’s attendance at a CMAA conference or the cost of national and local membership payments.
CMAA President and CEO Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE, shares, “Through the generosity of the LaRocca Family, The Club Foundation provides valuable support to our awardees, fostering mentorship and the elevation of emerging leaders in the club industry.”
