Institute for Organization Management

Institute for Organization Management is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s professional development program for association, chamber, and other nonprofit executives. Since 1921, Institute has educated leaders from across the country, making it one of oldest and best regarded adult education programs in nonprofit management.

Today, Institute's curriculum educates executives on all facets of running a nonprofit organization. The program consists of four, weeklong sessions at four different sites across the country. While on-site, attendees participate in 24 hours of course instruction, on topics such as advocacy, new media, membership, finance, legal issues, human resources, and much more.

Participants engage in lively discussions on a multitude of matters affecting the association and chamber industries, ultimately helping them build stronger organizations, better serve their members, and become leading business advocates.
