The Ohio Society of Association Professionals (OSAP) has once again partnered with Institute for Organization Management (IOM), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's professional development program for non-profit executives, to offer one $500 partial tuition scholarships to one of institute's 2025 sites. Scholarships 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 more than 100 years, the institute has educated association, chamber and other nonprofit leaders across the U.S. 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 perspective from peers. The institute has helped them build stronger organizations, become stronger business advocates and better serve their members. In addition, participants will earn points towards their CAE or CCE certification as institute's curriculum supports those two bodies of knowledge.
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.
