This past fall, the Missouri Athletic Club approved several changes to the Club's policies to encourage and reward our Members for bringing their friends, family and colleagues into the MAC. Matt Burke, a Member who joined early last year, has taken full advantage of one of these programs and became the top proposer of 2020 by recommending several of his colleagues to join the Club.
Although Burke first joined the MAC in January of 2020, he has already become a well-known name around the Club. While he can be seen on the tennis courts, at events and in the restaurants, his real claim to MAC fame is proposing four new Members to the Club in his first year.
After the Club reopened in May, he was quick to show to his Club to the young associates at Ameriprise Financial, taking them to play tennis and pickleball, introducing them to Membership at the monthly mixers and inviting them to the Associates' Rooftop Happy Hour in September.
After that last party, his colleagues; Alex Ottinger, Jenna Schiller, Kaylee Richardson and Austin Laslo all decided to join the Club in October.
Coincidentally, in the fall, the MAC had introduced the new Platinum Bonus referral campaign. This meant Burke received a $2,000 credit ($500 for each new Member) to spend at the Club for each of the four new Members he proposed. The total was loaded onto a Platinum Card to be used for food and beverage, massage, personal training and more.
"They’re all young executives, and as they’re getting their careers going, they need to start building their professional network...So as the guy who is getting them going in their career, I want to show them how you do this — how to be around successful people and network and work your way into a community," said Burke.
