Boardroom magazine developed the Distinguished Clubs award program to help vitalize and preserve the institution of private clubs by fostering a ceaseless drive to ever improve the “Member Experience” provided by private clubs throughout the world. Distinguished Emerald Club status is awarded to the top 5 percent of clubs.
To be a Distinguished Emerald Club is to be one of a highly select group of private clubs that have been recognized as providing an absolutely excellent Member Experience at a level attained by only the finest clubs in the world.
Receiving the designation of a Distinguished Emerald Club of the World is nuanced yet thoroughly recognizable, for it is based on the most important of all intangible qualities. Reputation. Reverence. Admiration. Brand Equity. Fame.
