2. ABOUT CLUB RESOURCES
CLUB RESOURCES is a leading club consulting firm specializing in strategic planning,
membership development and management of private clubs. Since 1990, CLUB

their Boards of Directors, Planning and Membership Committees, Owners/Developers
and Management.
Over the past 18 years we have spoken with thousands of members in focus groups
and town hall meetings, tabulated survey responses from thousands of members and
provided recommendations for every aspect of club operations. We have conducted
feasibility studies and provided concept planning for numerous new club developments,
sold thousands of memberships, trained dozens of Membership Directors, and
developed comprehensive Strategic Plans for dozens of clubs. Additionally, we

At CLUB RESOURCES we emphasize hands-on, client-oriented consulting services,
based on integrity, accuracy and professionalism. Our comprehensive approach ensures
accountability through the direct and exclusive involvement of our principals, each with
over 25 years of executive level club experience, in each and every project we
undertake.
3. OUR VIEW
CLUB RESOURCES is a club consulting firm specializing in the planning and
development of private membership clubs, membership programming and marketing,
strategic planning, equity conversions and interim management services for developers
and member-owned clubs.
Private clubs, as an industry and as individual institutions, are rapidly evolving away
from a model of tradition to one of pragmatism and commercialism. The history of the
industry has been a series of cycles and swings, typically moved by generational values
and standards. Evidence suggests traditional methods and models are no longer attracting
new members like they once did, even at the most venerable of clubs.
Additionally, many clubs are finding it increasingly difficult to collect enough dues to
provide the high level of services members expect, initiation fee revenues are not
covering the capital needs of aging facilities and assessments are increasing. Private
clubs need to embrace new ideas to compete and survive in this new environment.
We are applying ourselves every day to provide clubs with a new direction -- by
applying research, strategy, structure, value, creative thought, open dialogue and bold
steps. We believe now is the time for club leadership to embrace a strategic planning
approach in order to fully understand and address the issues affecting their club, and to
ensure they make the necessary changes to appeal to the next generation of club
members.

5. STRATEGIC PLANNING
There are times in the life of a private club that require a comprehensive study of its
trends, facilities, membership profile and, indeed, its future. CLUB RESOURCES has
developed a system that brings organization and structure to the strategic planning
process, while engaging the membership and involving them in the process throughout.
As all clubs have different needs and different levels of internal resources, our
Strategic Planning process is designed to offer a component approach. Our strategic
planning process features ultimate flexibility allowing clubs to determine which
components they need, which components they can perform in-house with our
guidance, or a more comprehensive approach utilizing our full range of services.

CLUB RESOURCES provides a unique and cost effective Interim Management solution
by combining our extensive operational and membership marketing backgrounds with
our strategic planning expertise. During the interim management period we provide day-
to-day management and oversight, provide an Operational Audit with recommendations
for the ongoing management of the club. This process has the benefit of preparing the
club for the recruitment of a new General Manager/COO with the skill set needed at this
point in the club's development.
OUR unique approach offers the developer or member-owned club an opportunity to
benefit from our extensive experience in club operations without encumbering the club
with a lengthy and costly management contract. Following the successful
implementation of our operating systems and stabilization of the club, we offer ongoing
support as necessary with the goal of establishing an outline for club self-management.
Our assignments typically range from as short as two weeks to six months or longer,
depending on individual club needs.

10. CLUB TRANSITION AND EQUITY CONVERSION
The life-cycle of a private club in a master-planned development typically includes the
sale or transfer of club ownership to a third party. The third party can be a variety of
entity types, such as the members, a private ownership/management company or, in the
case of a distressed property situation, the bank or lending institution. The mechanics of
a transition are extremely complex and require much in the way of research, structuring
and planning.
We work with the Transition Committee to provide key services to organize and
manage the transition, either comprehensively or as a consultant to others. We can
coordinate the services of leading specialists in club tax, legal and capital asset planning.
Additionally, we are prepared to provide interim management at any time during the
process, should the need arise, and offer assistance in evaluating the options of self-
management or contracting with a management company.

15. CLUB INDUSTRY PUBLICATIONS
THE GUIDE TO MEMBERSHIP MARKETING
When CLUB RESOURCES’ Co-Founder Bob Bodman published The Guide to
Membership Marketing in 1999, it was the most comprehensive reference textbook ever
published on the subject. It remains so today. The Club Managers Association of
America’s Premier Club Services selected The Guide as its signature item for the year.
Over 800 General Managers, in addition to hundreds of Membership Directors, now
have this powerful membership marketing resource. The Guide is available only on CD
and contains 450 pages of timeless, educational and helpful articles that are essential
for membership marketing. Cost: $79
STANDARDS OF OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE
Customize your own club’s Standards of Operations by using this template document
and system.. Endorsed and licensed by CMAA.
quot;Standards measure quality in the same way that a club's fiscal budget measures
revenues and expenses.quot; - Bob Bodman, Publisher
The development of a comprehensive set of Standards of Operation and Performance is
an essential component of Strategic Planning. CLUB RESOURCES has found, from the
results of focus groups and surveys with members, that one of the common elements
typically lacking in clubs is a set of “standards” by which the club’s leadership,
management and the members can all agree on. Cost $175
