Directors of clubhouses hold a critical position in the success of any clubhouse. Genesis Club and Fountain House  jointly sponsor an annual seminar to provide a forum for directors to share ideas, challenges and best practices, and to explore new strategies for bringing their clubhouses to the next level. Workshop topics and discussions focus on operating a successful clubhouse (e.g. branding, staff development, strategic community partnerships, effective Boards and fundraising, and emerging research). Discussions are based within an American economic and social context. Participants are expected to be actively engaged in discussions, sharing ideas and exploring solutions.  Tuition includes  one Director for the week-long training. Travel expenses are not included.
