Description
The LaRocca Family Executive Scholarship, administered by The Club Foundation, supports club managers who want to advance their own professional development while helping others achieve their career goals. Established in 2010 following a contribution from the LaRocca Family, it honors the family’s commitment to professional development and continued support of the foundation.
The scholarship combines executive education with mentoring. Recipients may receive support to attend selected Business Management Institutes covering leadership, international management, food and beverage, golf management, or wine and food experiences. They may also designate support for a manager they mentor, covering CMAA membership dues or participation in a CMAA conference. The program reflects the foundation’s support for development throughout a club manager’s career, from university through executive leadership.
