IOM Scholarships
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 2017 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 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 at dnance-evans@firminc.com by October 7.
Early registration deadline for Winter Institute is November 18.
For more information about Institute’s curriculum, sites, and dates, visit the Institute website and Prospective Student Toolkit to help you gain insight into the program.

While many associations have long relied on a one-size-fits-all membership model, hybrid models are all the rage, and for good reason. Offering a portfolio of membership options to your members not only provides them with the ability to pick the package that best suits their needs and budget, but can also help boost membership engagement, membership numbers, and overall revenue. But, how do you choose which options to offer?

Micro engagement problems are the small issues that you see at first glance when looking at events or your website, online community, social media posts, blog posts, and other content. Macro engagement problems, on the other hand, are serious issues with the potential to affect multiple areas of your association, including renewals, referrals, and overall member satisfaction.
