Alexandria, Virginia, United States: The National Club Association (NCA) and Club Management Association of America (CMAA) have released the second edition of their landmark reference, Private Club Governance: A Handbook of Principles and Best Practices.

The new edition adds a chapter on implementation of outstanding governance for private clubs.

Originally released in 2023, the book was written by a joint committee of experts from the associations and designed to be a framework of best practices for clubs at any place on the spectrum of effective governance.

With the new chapter, clubs have a blueprint for improving their governance even further.
 
“With its new chapter, the second edition of the handbook is an even more invaluable tool for private clubs,” said joint Governance Committee Chair Tim Muessle, Chief Operating Officer, The Olympic Club, San Francisco.

“Its publication is the result of the work of top experts from private clubs across the US, and a continued partnership between both associations representing those clubs and their boards and professionals,” added Muessle.
 
The handbook’s second edition contains all the resources of the first in addition to a clear path to more effective governance.  

Private Club Governance was developed by a joint committee of experts from both associations in a partnership structured to benefit the entire private club community.
