Maggie Bleau,
Director of Membership & Marketing
Maggie Bleau joined Pensacola Country Club as the Director of Membership & Marketing in December 2024. From Maggie: "I started my career in hospitality and the Marriott brand, from there I moved into private clubs at the Union League Club of Chicago as a Business Development Manager just about a decade ago. It was in this role that I began to craft my skill set. The General Manager trained me to understand what it is to belong to a private club to sell memberships. For ninety days he had me mirror members, have conversations with every department head and many members, learn the storytelling, and know the history of the ULCC. I did regular tours of the clubhouse with the Director of the Art Collection to learn the artists and works we had. I could speak to every corner of the clubhouse. It was in this position that I knew I wanted to be more than a manager.
I am a passionate leader that thrives on connecting people. I have successfully reopened an athletic club after a three-year delay in renovations; I have learned how to gracefully sell a club with two campuses and golf at two different country clubs. I am eager to meet you all and grow and engage the membership."
