As a member of the United States Chamber of Commerce Winter Institute Board of Regents, I have been asked to take on the ‘mission’ of informing other nonprofit management leaders to complete their Institute for Organizational Management – IOM – designation through a unique four-year, one week program.
The industry leader in nonprofit education, Institute is a four-year program, held at five sites each year—four in the summer and one in the winter. These sites are held at universities all over the United States including: Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, California and Pennsyvania.
Most participants attend the one week sessions at the same site each year, building valuable relationships with others in the industry and creating a network of idea sharing. Through a combination of required courses and electives, students not only enhance their own organizational management skills, but add new fuel to their organizations making them run more efficiently and effectively.
Graduates of Institute receive the IOM recognition, signifying completion of more than 90 hours of nonprofit study and dedication to the nonprofit profession. In addition, participants can earn points toward the Certified Chamber Executive (CCE) or Certified Association Executive (CAE) designations.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region.
For more information, contact Institute for Organization Management at U.S. Chamber headquarters at 202-463-5570; 1615 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20062-2000; www.uschamber.com/institute.
