Carpenter graduates from Institute for Organization Management

NORWICH – Maureen P. Carpenter, EDP, IOM, President & CEO of Commerce Chenango, has received the designation of IOM (Institute for Organization Management) from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This professional development program is a comprehensive course of study consisting of four annual sessions focusing on professional growth and development for association, chamber, and other nonprofit professionals.
“Institute graduates are recognized across the country as leaders in their communities,” 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 to achieve professional and organizational success in the dynamic association and chamber industries.”
Since 1921, Institute has attracted association and chamber professionals from across the country to its five university sites. During the four years, most Institute participants attend the one-week sessions at the same site, building valuable relationships with others in the industry. Through a combination of required courses and electives, 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 provides the most comprehensive professional development available in our profession,” said James A. Chavez, IOM, President & CEO of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Board of Trustees. “The program allows attendees to share today’s best practices in an ever changing economic environment.”
Graduates of Institute receive the IOM recognition, signifying completion of 96 hours of course instruction in nonprofit management. In addition, participants can earn points toward the Certified Chamber Executive (CCE) certification.
“Since starting Institute I have been able to bring back new ideas, implement new strategies, programs and solutions to our chamber’s activities,” said Maureen P. Carpenter, EDP, IOM. “We now have a stronger organization. My training over the last four years has included advocacy, policy development, strategic planning, marketing, fundraising, finance, human resources, membership development, leadership, technology, and program development. I think the most valuable resource I am taking away from this experience would be the connections I have made with other chamber executives.”
Institute is a 501(c)(3) affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is the premier nonprofit professional development program for nonprofit professionals, fostering individual growth through interactive learning and networking opportunities.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business federation representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.
Organized in 1959, Commerce Chenango is a not-for-profit, community based organization dedicated to enhancing the economic growth of Chenango County and the surrounding area. Visit www.chenangony.org for more information on Commerce Chenango services and programs.
