IOM Winter Institute scholarships available
WSAE is proud to partner with Institute for Organization Management, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's professional development program for non-profit executives, and offer two $500 partial tuition scholarships to one of Institute's 2019 sites. The two scholarships, available to WSAE 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 over 95 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 CAE certification, as Institute's curriculum is directly tied to the body of knowledge of the American Society of Association Executives.
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. If you are interested in this scholarship opportunity, contact Michelle Czosek, at mczosek@wsae.org by October 16.
The early registration deadline for Winter Institute is November 16.
Are you already an IOM and have an updated job or title? Update your contact information and stay connected.

Social media management tools
I'm looking for some input as we're considering using a social media management tool that's easy-to-use, affordable and offers decent analytics. We currently post to Facebook and LinkedIn manually, and we'll soon be adding Twitter into the mix. I've used Hootsuite before, but it's been a few years and I wanted to check what others in this community are using and to get your feedback and insight. I've been intrigued by what Zoho Social offers. Has anyone used it? Your thoughts are appreciated!

My association has two boards of directors; one for the builder members and one for associate members. Both of those boards have bylaws, that sometimes conflict. I have never seen an association have two sets of bylaws under one corporation. Is this normal?

Senate defeats expansion of non-ObamaCare plans
The Senate on Wednesday, October 10, narrowly defeated a measure, introduced by Democrats, to overturn President Trump's expansion of non-ObamaCare insurance plans, including short-term health insurance plans and association health plans. The legislation narrowly failed by a 50-50 vote in the Senate on party lines with the exception of Sen. Susan Collins, who voted with the Democrats.
