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.

Ohio bill impacts certification programs
ASAE is urging its members to weigh in on legislation in Ohio that would impact professional certification programs run by associations.

The bill passed the Ohio Senate in June and has been introduced in the House, but has not yet been referred to a committee.

MSAE weighs in on association standing case
The Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) is planning to submit an amicus brief in a case with potential ramifications for associations pending before the Michigan Supreme Court.
The case will be argued before the Michigan Supreme Court during its 2018-2019 term.
The case involves the Michigan Association of Home Builders, which filed suit against the city of Troy over building department fees. But one of the questions on appeal is whether or not an association has standing to sue on behalf of its members, and that is what MSAE will address in its amicus brief.
"One of the principle roles of associations is to stand in the shoes of its members as an advocate before the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government," said MSAE President and CEO Cheryl Ronk, FASAE, CAE. "For this reason, MSAE will submit an amicus brief to the Michigan Supreme Court to revive and/or clarify the standing of associations to file lawsuits on behalf of their members under general principles of Michigan's jurisprudence."
