Scholarship Opportunity Available
The Illinois Society of Association Executives is proud to partner with Institute for Organization Management, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s professional development program for non-profit executives, and offer two $500 partial tuition scholarships to one of Institute’s 2018 sites. The two scholarships, available to our members, will be awarded to students attending Institute for the first time to assist with enrollment fees and cannot be combined with any other Institute scholarships.
For over 95 years, Institute has educated association, chamber, and other nonprofit leaders across the country through its national program, highly rated curriculum and high caliber instructors. Thousands of executives have attended Institute sites across the country to strengthen their management skills, learn industry best practices, and gain a broad national perspective from peers. Institute has helped them build stronger organizations, become stronger business advocates and better serve their members. In addition, you will earn points towards your CCE or CAE certification as Institute’s curriculum is directly tied to the bodies of knowledge of both the American Society of Association Executives and the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
Upon completion of the Institute program, graduates receive the IOM recognition which allows them to use the letters “IOM” in public mention and professional correspondence. The IOM recognition signifies the completion of 96 hours of course instruction in nonprofit management and commitment to the industry.
If you are interested in this scholarship opportunity, contact Destiny Nance-Evans by March 20th. (or the date of your choosing before March 20th)
Early registration deadline for Midwest and Southeast Institute is April 20th.
Early registration deadline for West and Northeast Institute is May 25th.
For more information about Institute’s curriculum, sites, and dates, visit the Institute Web site and Prospective Student Toolkit to help you gain insight into the program.

If you can identify with these difficulties, it might be time to rethink your association’s volunteer structure. Take a look at these trends and think about how they could fit into the ways you currently drum up volunteers.

As association leaders, we often think that once a community is developed, we can pull back resources, time and focus on cultivating community. We think it will continue to grow organically. Does a garden continue to grow and bear fruit year after year without proper resources, attention and care? As an association, we have to spend as much time or even more time nurturing the development of that community.

Association Success
What is the difference between cost and value? Cost is the price your customers pay and value is what your customers receive in exchange for their money. The sale of advertising, exhibits and sponsorships can be modeled after the way the auto industry positions their products—not by cost but by value to the consumer.

This way all your followers get it and you don’t miss out on an opportunity. But what if I told you that not every piece of content belongs on every platform?
