Institute for Organization Management offers $500 scholarships to non-profit executives
Apply by November 17
The Wisconsin Society of Association Executives 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 2016 sites. The two 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.
For over 90 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 certification as Institute's curriculum is directly tied to the bodies of knowledge of both the American Society of Association Executives and the Association of Chamber of Commerce 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 by November 17.
Early registration deadline for Winter Institute is November 20.

The Importance and Impact of Engagement Within a Workforce
Wednesday, September 23, 2015
1-2 p.m. CT
Employee engagement has become a priority for most companies and organizations. Leaders know that having a high-performance team is essential for growth and survival in today's ever-changing business market. Leaders recognize that a highly engaged workforce can increase productivity, morale and loyalty, and sustain valuable employees within the organization.
But while most Leaders understand the importance of employee engagement, there are few companies or organizations that develop tangible methods and tools to measure and make the necessary changes to ensure an engaged workforce. Research shows that only 29% of employees and managers are highly engaged within their organization.

Selling to the Brain: Understanding Neuroscience's Impact on Your Member and Revenue Growth
Thursday, October 8, 2015
1-2 p.m. CT
Your members are bombarded with too much messaging and too little time, resulting in brain clutter. Competing priorities and distractions make it harder than ever to drive and inspire action - and it's only going to get worse!
What we know about the brain and how humans perceive and connect with messaging has advanced tremendously in the last few years. It's imperative you understand how neuroscience is the driving factor behind unlocking effective member acquisition, retention and non-dues revenue.
You will learn how the brain makes a buying decision and how it reacts to specific stimuli and messaging. You will also learn proven tactics, strategies and approaches to gain new members, keep more of the ones you have and drive higher non dues-based revenue.
Managing Multiple Priorities: And Staying Sane in the Process
Tuesday, October 20, 2015
1-2 p.m. CT
In a time when every priority claims itself as the most urgent, it is essential to understand the attitudes, behaviors and skills required to become effective and efficient at utilizing the resources at our disposal to handle multiple tasks and priorities. The perfect planning system, Outlook tasks, and a smart phone can certainly help improve our productivity, but they are not the solution. This fun an interactive session will provide participants an opportunity to learn specific, practical strategies to work smarter, not harder.
