Jeff Briggs has been an important member of the Distinguished Clubs team since its inception and was the original creator of all public-facing branding and communications — from the design of all Distinguished Clubs logos, letterhead, and all informational collateral, to the design and ongoing construction of all Member Experience Verification Reports that are provided clubs that have gone through the Distinguished Clubs designation process. Briggs developed and currently maintains the technology that supports the internal business operations at Distinguished Clubs and is the UI/UX designer and architect of the ClubIQ® web-based Member Experience Polling System that is not only used in the Distinguished Clubs designation process, but is available to all clubs looking to monitor and improve their Member Experience on an ongoing basis. Briggs graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree from UC Santa Barbara, and presently resides in Corona del Mar, California.
