Institute for Organization Management, the professional development program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is pleased to announce that Dana Brown, Membership Services Director, of the Greater Vidalia Chamber, has recently completed her second year at Institute for Organization Management, a four-year nonprofit leadership training program at The University of Georgia in Athens.
“I am so thankful to my management and our Board of Directors for investing in my professional development with the Institute of Organization Management. I am now halfway through the program and have already learned so much to bring back to our community,” Brown remarked about the experience.
Since its commencement in 1921, the Institute program has been educating tens of thousands of association, chamber, and other nonprofit leaders on how to build stronger organizations, better serve their members and become strong business advocates. Institute’s curriculum consists of four weeklong sessions at four different university locations throughout the country. Through a combination of required courses and electives in areas such as leadership, advocacy, marketing, finance, and membership, Institute participants are able to enhance their own organizational management skills and add new fuel to their organizations, making them run more efficiently and effectively.
“Institute graduates are recognized across the country as leaders in their industries and organizations,” said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, the U.S. Chamber’s vice president of Institute for Organization Management. “These individuals have the knowledge, skills, and dedication necessary to achieve professional and organizational success in the dynamic association and chamber industries.”
Institute for Organization Management is the professional development program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. It is the premier nonprofit professional development program for association and chamber professionals, fostering individual growth through interactive learning and networking opportunities.
