AMI Names Certified Marina Managers and Operators

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

The institute welcomed 16 new CMMs and 3 new CMOs, expanding the field to 480 CMMs and 59 CMOs worldwide. 

The 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, which sets each individual and their facility apart from others within the industry. 

AMI’s Training Institute offers both virtual and face-to-face IMM courses throughout the year and face-to-face AMM courses twice a year and will add courses based upon need. Most recently, AMI added a West Coast AMM course to be held May 8-13, 2022, in San Francisco, and a June 12-16, 2022, IMM course to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to its already existing calendar of sold-out courses.

“Marina professionals are hungry for training. We are training a record number of students between all our course offerings—which, in turn, should lead to a record number of new CMM and CMOs,” said Training Coordinator Merritt Alves.
