Was one of your New Year's Resolutions to enroll in a professional development program to enhance your skills and further your career as a chamber executive? Then we have good news for you!
MACCE has $1500 in scholarships to award this year, and up to an additional 4 $500 scholarships from the US Chamber Foundation that can only be used to attend the first year of the Institute for Organization Management. This description from them:
"MACCE partners with Institute for Organization Management, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s professional development program for non-profit executives, and offer four $500 partial tuition scholarships to one of Institute’s 2020 sites. The four 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. Please note, this can be combined with the Premier Investor Discount (PID) and/or Group Rate.
For almost 100 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 as Institute’s curriculum is directly tied to the bodies of knowledge of both industry certifications.
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.
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."
Applications and additional information are attached - the deadline for submission is Monday, March 2nd, no exceptions. As a reminder, to be eligible for a MACCE (non-Institute) scholarship you must:
