The Concierge Club Advisory Service

A Note From GHMG

Historically, this level of ongoing, senior-level advisory support has been reserved for the largest consulting engagements and the deepest budgets. The Concierge Club Advisory Service changes that.

All of us at GHMG have "sat in the chairs" of our fellow club leaders, giving us a deep understanding of the day-to-day complexities and challenges faced by executive managers, volunteer leaders, and club owners alike. Drawing on this perspective, we built the Concierge Club Advisory Service with a clear purpose: to offer meaningful support that helps clubs enhance their operations and elevate performance across every area.

A different model for private-club advisory a structured, retainer-based relationship that gives your leadership team direct access to experienced GHMG advisors throughout the year. Included is on-demand access to a curated library of templates and operational playbooks that turn hard-won experience into decisions your team can act on immediately.

The service is built around three tiers, each designed to flex with your Club's needs, leadership model, and operational complexity. The pages that follow introduce the structure, the tiers, and what it would look like to partner with us. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how the Concierge Club Advisory Service might best serve your Club.
