A message from Chevy Chase Country Club:
As we have done in the past, we are reaching out to local colleges and universities to see if any first year students within the hospitality programs would be interested in taking a server position for the summer as our internship spaces are limited. This is a great way to get their foot in the door at a large club with a proven internship program. Our desire is to have some students come in for the summer in a line level capacity in hopes they excel and enjoy the club environment and thus apply for internship positions the following year. We have seen some recent success with this venture. We will expose these students to some limited amount of educational opportunities that are normally afforded to interns and will provide as much career development and support as we can to round out their summer.
Applications can be faxed to the attention Greg Sheara or Laura Stevenson, Manager of Clubhouse Dining at 240-395-2107

Late this past Spring, our very own Neil Marrin was selected to be one of 2 Faculty Interns for the National Club Managers Association of America. For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to meet Neil yet, he is currently teaching Foundations Courses and Graduate level Fiscal Management. We interviewed Neil to learn more about his Faculty Intern position and his roles in the School of Hospitality, Sport & Recreation Management.
Neil explained that this Faculty Internship is sponsored by the National CMAA foundation. The main focus and goal is to provide faculty with a better prospective of the club management industry so they can better serve their students. Each year they pick one or 2 candidates from around the country to serve as faculty interns. This position includes many benefits such as attendance at the national leadership conference, with all expenses covered by CMAA. The conference provides informative presentations, specifically geared towards professionals in the industry. The position even requires the faculty interns to shadow mangers which gives them the opportunity to cover the differentiation of clubs across the country. Because Neil is the faculty advisor for CMAA, this position gives him a network of contacts for students searching for internships and future careers.
Neil began his career in recreation, working for the YMCA youth and teen programs. He spent 20 years in municipal and worked his way up to Executive Director of a recreation agency in New York. Eventually, Neil was asked to teach at City University in New York, where he held lectures once a week. His experience at City University gave him the desire to start a teaching profession. Now making his mark at James Madison University, Neil is exposed to both Hospitality and Sports & Rec students through Foundations courses where he has become known as a hybrid of the two industries.
“The students without question! I love being in the classroom and having interaction with my students. We also have a remarkable faculty that is very student focused and make a great team.”
