The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Organization Management announced last week that Lauren Sackett, executive director of the Rhinelander Area Chamber of Commerce, has been awarded a Regent Scholarship and will participate in the organization's professional development program.

Given to professionals across the country, the Regent Scholarship recognizes each recipient for their involvement in industry professional organizations, community service, and professional background, the organization explained in a press release.

"Regent Scholarships offer executives the opportunity to learn about emerging industry trends, expand their organizations' influence, and grow their peer network," said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, vice president of Institute for Organization Management at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "We are pleased to help these talented professionals advance their careers and organizations."

Since its commencement in 1921, the Institute program has been educating tens of thousands of association, chamber, and other nonprofit leaders on how to build stronger organizations, better serve their members and become strong business advocates, the release states. Institute's curriculum consists of four weeklong sessions at four different university locations throughout the country. Through a combination of required courses and electives in areas such as leadership, advocacy, marketing, finance, and membership, Institute participants are able to enhance their own organizational management skills and add new fuel to their organizations, making them run more efficiently and effectively.

Each of the Regent Scholarship recipients will attend one of Institute's four sites. At the completion of the four-year curriculum, each of the recipients will receive the IOM graduate recognition, signifying completion of 96 hours of course instruction in nonprofit management and their commitment to the industry. In addition, all credit hours earned through Institute may be applied toward the Certified Chamber Executive (CCE) or Certified Association Executive (CAE) industry certification.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business organization representing companies of all sizes across every sector of the economy, with members ranging from the small businesses and local chambers of commerce that line the Main Streets of America to leading industry associations and large corporations.
