Scottish Golf & Club Managers Association rebrands as CMAE Scotland

Formerly known as the Scottish Golf & Club Managers Association (SGCMA), the organisation recently voted with an outstanding majority at its Annual General Meeting to transition to CMAE Scotland, aligning itself more closely with the broader CMAE brand, while maintaining its strong regional identity.

CMAE Scotland will serve as the regional arm of the CMAE, dedicated to delivering high-quality education, professional development, and networking opportunities for club managers and industry professionals across Scotland. Through a series of regional educational events, workshops, and networking forums, CMAE Scotland will provide valuable support and resources to members, ensuring they stay at the forefront of best practices and industry trends.

“I am delighted to support the announcement of SGCMA’s rebranding as CMAE Scotland, marking an exciting new chapter for club management professionals in the region,” said CMAE Commercial Director Craig Cotterill. “This evolution strengthens the collaboration between Scotland and the wider CMAE family, ensuring enhanced access to quality education, professional development, and broader networking opportunities.

“The commitment of the CMAE Scotland board has been instrumental in driving this progressive change, and I extend my sincere thanks for their vision and dedication in shaping a stronger future for their members. This step forward will not only benefit club managers in Scotland but also contribute to the ongoing growth and connectivity of CMAE professionals across the UK, Europe and MENA.”

David Addison, Chairman of CMAE Scotland, added: “We are delighted to rebrand SGCMA to CMAE Scotland and excited for what the future holds for our members. Becoming closer aligned with CMAE furthers our commitment to education, development and support to our club managers in Scotland.”
