Monday December 5, 2022, 7:00pm ET Contact [email protected] for ZOOM link Hear from our distinguished panel of experts.  DTM, Bettie St. Clair, DTM Dana Richard and DTM Lynda Kennedy Many factors influence a club’s success: membership numbers, renewal rates and education achievements, for example. But an intangible and often overlooked factor may be the most essential contributor to a club’s long-term success—its culture!  Culture, in this case, refers to the club’s environment—that blend of location, members, values, customs and practices.
