Becca Hancock, executive director of the Wimberley Valley Chamber of Commerce, recently completed the Institute for Organization Management program, completing 96 credit hours of instruction in non-profit management.
“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.”
Since its commencement in 1921, the IOM 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. The curriculum consists of four weeklong sessions at four different university locations throughout the country. A combination of required courses and electives in areas such as leadership, advocacy, marketing, finance and membership teach participants how to enhance their organizational management skills and add new fuel to their organizations, making them run more efficiently and effectively.
