This years topics were, ‘Where do you go for your education – who are CMAE competing with?’ and ‘Post MDP feedback – has your education had an impact, was their a return on investment?’

The two consultancy units delivered their finding to the CMAE London and Home Counties Board at the Caledonian Club and then took questions from the Board members.

Commenting on the presentations CMAE London and Home Counties Chairman David Balden said “the presentations were once again of a very high standard. The information the students have gathered and analysed is extremely valuable to the association. It was interesting to learn where clubs and management groups go for their education needs and it was pleasing to hear that the key learnings from our programmes are having an impact back in the work place from our delegates”

Bournemouth University’s Senior Academic – Dr. Andrew Callaway said “the consultancy projects that the students conduct are hard work and the students gain valuable, applied, experiences working with the CMAE. They get a fantastic opportunity to put into practice what they learn in the class room, and network with some of the top club managers from across the country”
