Club Director

Inside This Issue:

The summer issue of Club Director features a technology theme, filled with a wealth of information about how clubs can overcome ‘technology lag’ with affordable, advanced technologies that focus on infrastructure and ways clubs can use technology to reach members in important new ways—such as through mobile communications and social media. Learn about the impact of iPad technology for clubs and their members and ways clubs can use social networking technology to build a successful social media plan.

To kick-off NCA’s 50^th anniversary celebration, we are launching a six-part series entitled “Articles from the Archives: The Best of Club Director,” featuring key articles published over the years. The first article in the series highlights an issue that is as central as any issue could be for private clubs: the protection of privacy rights and what defines a place of public accommodation.

New Release

The Legal Reference Guide for Private Clubs was written by attorneys specializing in private club issues to help volunteer leaders and club management understand the potential legal challenges they can face every day in the industry. With chapters ranging from operational matters and human resource issues to governance and membership policies, this comprehensive resource provides club leaders with a wealth of information on areas of liability and exposures and ways to be proactive in managing the risk. This definitive resource—including sample forms, policies and checklists—provides the private club industry with guidelines and policies to help clubs and their counsel manage legal risks and exposure.
