Club Leaders Alliance LogoClub Benchmarking, McMahon Group and Kopplin Kuebler & Wallace, three of the industry’s most highly respected firms, have expanded their long-standing commitment to the private club industry by establishing the Club Leadership Alliance™.

The three firms have worked closely with more than 3,000 clubs and through that extensive analysis and experience, have identified and aligned around a clear pattern of best practices inherent in the industry’s most successful clubs. The Club Leadership Alliance (CLA) was established with a mission to rally club leaders to create relevant, enduring clubs for today and the future.


“Our vision for the industry is a transformation of the club leadership model through widespread understanding and adoption of the best practices that lead to sustained club success.”

In a joint statement, CLA Principles explained that their decision to collaborate was driven by a shared desire to support and contribute to the long-term success of the industry by helping clubs prepare for the future. “Our vision for the industry is a transformation of the club leadership model through widespread understanding and adoption of the best practices that lead to sustained club success.”

The three founding Alliance firms are independent entities working together for the common good of the industry, serving clubs in all aspects of strategic planning, operations, finances, human capital and facilities. The CLA’s core values serve as a framework for the proven best practices that create relevant and enduring clubs:

  • Informed Leadership

  • Strategic Stewardship

  • Empowered Management and Team

  • Compelling Member Experience


Principals of the Club Leadership Alliance will participate in an educational seminar hosted by the Club Management Association of America on Monday, June 15th at 2:00 PM Eastern to discuss strategic club leadership and best practices for creating relevant and enduring clubs.
