FIRST AND ONLY IVY LEAGUE PRIVATE CLUB TO RANK TOP 10


PENN CLUB OF NEW YORK RANKS TOP 10 BEST PRIVATE CITY CLUB


  • Distinguished Club Award
    • NEW YORK, NY — June 2021 — The Penn Club of New York has been awarded the prestigious Distinguished Club award by BoardRoom magazine, one of the most respected trade publications serving private clubs. The annual Distinguished Clubs award program is based on an extensive evaluation process that measures a club’s Member Experience. The program assigns a club-specific rating system to quantify Member Experience.

      “Member Experience” is a special combination of qualities that a private club provides its members. It is a combination of quality of service, facilities and products, staff and management, overall club governance as well as emotional goodwill. As an intangible quality, emotional goodwill is difficult to measure but is the most important quality in the Member Experience. Members witness it during those magical moments when they make a new friend at the club, experience a memorable club event graced by a famed speaker, or feel their hearts filled with pride as the club engages them with their traditions and heritage.

      A club is selected and recognized as a Distinguished Club, only if it provides members with a multi-facet Member Experience that is absolutely outstanding.

      "The Penn Club of New York has once again been recognized for its excellence in service, facilities, and staff," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "The Club is known throughout our Penn alumni network—which is nearly 300,000 strong—as a welcoming home away from home in New York."

      “The Board of Directors of The Penn Club is extremely proud of this feather to our cap.”, says Lauren Davidson Sachs, President of The Penn Club of New York “The Club is committed to delivering the very best to our members by constantly challenging ourselves to enhance our members’ experience in cost-effective ways.”

      “We are proud to acknowledge Martin Badinelli, Sr. CCM, CCE, General Manager/COO, and his team for delivering an exceptional Member Experience for the members of The Penn Club of New York!” said John Fornaro, Publisher and Co-Founder of BoardRoom magazine.
