Speaking of the event, CMAE’s Director of Education Torbjorn Johansson said “We are delighted with the response from the delegates at our taster event in Amsterdam. Quality education is increasingly important for the modern day manager and we are looking forward to working closely with EGCOA to bring the Management Development Programme to Amsterdam next year.”

Lodewijk Klootwijk, CEO of the EGCOA added ”For me the taster session with our Dutch golf managers was a great one. CMAE brought international perspective with the various speakers. The fundament is now in place to do our first MDP in Holland this winter.”
