The Canadian Society of Club Managers (CSCM) is delighted to announce that our third official Canadian student branch has been formed at Fanshawe College in the Golf and Club Management Program in London, ON. Student branches are organized by dynamic students who are interested in furthering their professional development in the field of club management, along with a faculty advisor. The Society’s first student branch is at Georgian College in Barrie, ON; the second one is at Humber College in Toronto, ON.
Suzanne Godbehere, Chief Executive Officer of CSCM, says, “We are delighted to be creating our third student branch, led by faculty advisor Rob Foster and student branch president Brett Henderson. We look forward to working with the branch at Fanshawe to expand awareness of the club industry as top-quality employers, as well as to help develop the club managers of the future.”
Simon Bevan, CCM, General Manager at RiverBend Golf Community and President of CSCM’s Southwest Ontario Branch is the official liaison for the student branch with Fanshawe College. Simon is passionate about student development and has significantly supported the development of this third student branch. “Working with Rob and Brett at Fanshawe to get this student branch off the ground has been very rewarding, both personally and professionally. I love hearing the fresh perspectives and ideas the students have, as well as sharing insights from my 30 years in the industry” Simon said.
New Fanshawe Student Branch President, Brett Henderson, has been at Fanshawe College for 2 years and is looking forward to developing a relationship with CSCM. “We are thrilled to have a formal relationship with CSCM, which we know will be a draw for future students coming to Fanshawe. The education and networking events offered by CSCM will offer Fanshawe students an exceptional way to learn more about the club industry and gain first-hand insights from club managers.”
