New Castle, New Hampshire (December 12, 2012) - Club Benchmarking (CB) announced today that Jim Boyle has been named as the company's Director of Member Services. Boyle has been working with co-founders Ray Cronin and Russ Conde for more than six months to develop and perfect the CB intake or "onboarding" process. In his new role as full-time Director of Member Services he is responsible for helping CB clients get started and making sure they are comfortable as users of the CB platform.

Jim has the expertise we needed to make that process efficient and effective. As an experienced club CFO, he can interface with members at the detailed data level, but he is also highly qualified to help them address issues like strategic club performance and best practices. As Director of Member Services, his mission is to support the participation and success of our members."
