AMI Training Institute Graduates New CMMs and CMOs

The Association of Marina Industries (AMI) Training Institute held its awards ceremony for new Certified Marina Managers (CMMs) and Certified Marina Operators (CMOs) February 2, at the annual AMI Conference & Expo held in Daytona Beach, Florida.

This year the institute welcomed 16 new CMMs and three new CMOs to this elite group of marina management professionals. There are currently 480 CMMs and 59 CMOs worldwide.

New CMMs and CMOs have completed the Intermediate Marina Management Course (IMM) and Advanced Marina Management Course (AMM). Upon completion of both courses, each marina manager/operator must submit an extensive CMM or CMO application for review and approval by the CMM/CMO review committee. This level of professional training and commitment sets each individual and their facility apart from others within the industry.
