Golf Community Currahee Club Hires Bill Wagner, CCM, as General Manager
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- Bill Wagner, CCM, joined golf community Currahee Club on May 1, 2007, and brought 30 years of leadership experience in the management of hotels, resorts, and private clubs. Wagner, who was the 2005 national president of the Club Managers Association (CMA), held the manager's title for 16 years at The Riviera Country Club in Coral Gables, Fla.. As General Manager, his initial focus will be on the magnificent 48,000 square foot Golf Clubhouse.
Wagner has been president of the Florida Chapter of the CMA and has been on the Board of Directors for 17 years. He has been serving on the national Board of Directors for the CMA of America for eight years, rising through the chairs to be named 2005 national president of this 7,000 member organization. Wagner serves on the Board of Governors for the Florida Chamber of Commerce, and in 2005 was named the Dedman School of Hospitality's Alumnus of the Year.
Wagner found his true calling, working with private clubs, in 1975, after several years of managerial experience in four-star hotels. Starting at the Plaza Club in San Antonio, Texas, Wagner also managed other private clubs and golf communities including the Woodlands Inn and Country Club in Woodlands, Texas, the Poinciana Golf & Racquet Club in Poinciana, Fla., the Eau Gallie Yacht Club in Indian Harbor Beach, Fla., and Mariner Sands Country Club in Stuart, Fla. At each location, the CCM-certified leader helped increase membership of the private clubs, mentor staff on attributes for five-star quality and garner awards for customer service. Wagner is excited to bring these skills to Currahee Club.
"The Whitleys (Currahee Club's developers) have a reputation of high quality. From Currahee Club's amenity design features and impeccable greens maintenance, to its Directors of Fun and Adventure, they've thought of it all - and I'm eager to be a part of that chemistry," said Wagner.
Outside of work, Wagner is a jazz music enthusiast and loves sports cars, golf and Florida State University (FSU) football games. He and his wife of 22 years, Carol, have one daughter and two grandchildren, ages three and five. One of Wagner's favorite mottos is, "If you find a job you really, really love, you'll never have to work again!," and he believes he has found that job with Currahee Club.
Wagner is a graduate of FSU, Tallahassee, Fla., with a BS in Business Administration and major in Hospitality Management. He is currently a member of the Society of Hosts (HRM Honorary) and has been since its inception.
