The State of Private Club Governance: Survey Findings and Solutions
Manage episode 484024136 series 2256426
Private clubs often pride themselves on tradition—but without strong governance, even the most respected institutions can find themselves unprepared for what’s ahead.
In this data-driven conversation, Ed Heil talks with Joseph Abely, Executive Consultant at Club Benchmarking and lead author of the Club Benchmarking 2025 Governance Report. Rather than offering surface-level advice, Joe draws on insights from over 400 clubs to reveal what actually moves the needle: board education, succession planning, and long-term strategic thinking. The findings are clear—clubs that prioritize these elements don’t just function more smoothly; they outperform their peers financially and operationally.
If your board meetings are focused on operational fixes instead of future vision, this episode is your wake-up call.
