What does it mean to be a 5 Star Plati-
num Club of America? For starters,
it means being among the very best
private clubs in the country. "is is a
great honor and a great testament to
our club and our membership," WAC
President & CEO Chuck Nelson said
aer the Club won its ninth consecutive
Platinum Award.
e latest awards were announced
this past November.
Only the top five percent of private
clubs nationwide earn Platinum status.
e awards are voted on by Club
Management Association of America
managers as well as club presidents and
owners.
"e Washington Athletic Club, its
members, board, management, and staff
should be justly proud of Platinum rec-
ognition and have set a benchmark for
other clubs to emulate," said Dennis
Burns, executive director of the awards.
e Platinum awards, introduced in
1997, were initially delivered once every
three years and are now biennial. e
WAC has won every time the awards
have been given.
"To sustain the excellence required to
consistently win Platinum Club recog-
nition is a testament to the Club and the
membership's commitment to contin-
ually evolve and improve the facility,
offerings, and service levels of the WAC,"
Chuck said. "You can't keep winning an
award like this if you stay the same."
