Ayr United will take their place among some of Europe's biggest names at a Stateside summit this week.
Managing director Graeme Mathie will travel to New York as part of a prestige course with the English FA.
Delegates from the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and AS Monaco are all part of the trip to learn from sporting juggernauts on the other side of the Atlantic.
And Mathie will ensure The Honest Men are an unlikely representative at the top table when he jets out tomorrow morning.
The 39-year-old is currently nearing completion of his Technical Director's course run by the FA.
He told the Ayrshire Post: "It's something I've been working towards for a while now and covers various strands from talent identification to strategic leadership in football.
"The course is the equivalent of the Pro Licence in the coaching world and around 15 people were chosen to go on an 18 month programme.
"Ross Wilson (sporting director at Rangers) was one of the first cohort and Joe Savage at Hearts is also due to complete it soon.
"But it's not a course that many Scottish-based people have been on, so from that point of view it's great to be involved."
Mathie and the current intake have spent time studying how major organisations work in a bid to put those techniques into practice at their own clubs.
While in the Big Apple, Mathie will speak to those running the US Open tennis tournament, New York Yankees baseball club, New York Giants Americal football team, New York City soccer franchise and even Sony Music.
He said: "We've been to see Harlequins Rugby and studied a lot about their culture and their plan as a club and how that filters down through their organisation.
"We even went to an RAF base and saw stuff around high performing teams. As part of that, we met an ex-military interrogator who came up to Somerset and spent a day with us.
"He spends time consulting with the likes of Mars and Red Bull and to have contacts of this calibre now can only benefit our club moving forward."
Mathie added: "I go on these courses with the FA as an unknown and people can judge me for how they find me.
"In Scotland, you'll either find that everyone already knows you or they know someone who knows you.
"The people on this course are operating at the top level of the game and you're able to get some really rich experiences from them.
"And although the size and background of the clubs involved is different, a lot of the challenges we face are the same.
"We're all asking the same questions around how you get your people buying into a vision and pulling in the same direction, regardless of the club.
"I'm able to stand up in front of these people and share my experiences from Ayr United - and it's treated just as importantly as the guys who stand up from Liverpool or Monaco.
"It feels like Ayr United is just as important around that table as any other club and that is amazing for us."
