John completed his 96 hours this year during the week of June 3-7 at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wis.
The industry leader in nonprofit education, Institute is held at five sites each year—four in the summer and one in the winter. Most participants attend the one-week sessions at the same site each year, building valuable relationships with others in the industry and creating a network of idea sharing. Through a combination of required courses and electives, students not only enhance their own organizational management skills but add new fuel to their organizations, making them run more efficiently and effectively.
“IOM graduates are recognized across the country as leaders in their communities” said Raymond P.

More than 100 executives continued their Institute education and will reunite again April 10–12, 2008, in Memphis, Tenn. Institute students also earn points toward the Certified Chamber Executive (CCE) or Certified Association Executive (CAE) designations.
