Grapevine Community Award Graduates from Institute for Nominees Honored, Feb. 9 Organization Management In January, Michael Miori, IOM, Director of Business Development, for the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce, graduated from the Institute for Organization Management, the professional development program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and received the recognition of IOM. Awarded to all graduates of the Institute program, the IOM Graduate Recognition signifies the individual’s completion of 96 hours of course instruction in nonprofit management. “Institute graduates are recognized across the country as leaders in their industries and organizations,” said Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE, the U.S. Chamber Foundation’s vice president of Institute for Organization Management. “These individuals have the knowledge, skills, and dedication necessary to achieve professional and organizational success in the dynamic association and chamber industries.” 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. Institute’s curriculum consists of four weeklong sessions at five 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. Institute for Organization Management is the professional development program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. It is the premier nonprofit professional development program for association and chamber professionals, fostering individual growth through interactive learning and networking opportunities.

One of the most exciting components of the Procurement Fair is “Live Matchmaking.” You will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with three companies of your choice that you’d like to do business with. These are major corporations! Simply bring 3 business cards with you, and we will slot you in between 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Doors open that morning at 8:30 a.m. In addition, there is an opportunity for you to exhibit. If you buy products and services from small businesses, you are welcome to sign up as an exhibitor. Representatives from the major corporations and government entities will be visiting every booth space. Space is limited so you will want to act swiftly. We sincerely look forward to your participation, and we thank you in advance for your support of this economic development project!

Looking Forward to a Great 2017 Last year was an exciting year for the Women’s Division, and we could not have done it without the wonderful leadership of our 2016 Chair, Karen Deakin. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Karen for your tireless efforts in leading us as we introduced two new fundraising events and expanded our membership to 97 members. It was a job well done and a great year for the Women’s Division. As we look forward to 2017, we want to welcome all the new members to the Grapevine Chamber. I encourage you to get involved in some capacity. If you are not familiar with the Women’s Division, we began in 1965 to help serve the Grapevine Chamber and help make Grapevine a wonderful community. Today, our focus is on assisting students in GCISD with school supplies and providing Christmas gifts and necessities to senior citizens within the community. We are always looking for additional opportunities to serve others and to give back to our community. I would like to invite anyone interested in the Women’s Division to join us February 21, at 11:45 a.m., at Cowboys Golf Club for our monthly Membership Luncheon. This particular meeting will focus on recruiting new members, discussing ways to get involved and highlighting all the ways the organization impacts the community. Space is limited, so please RSVP on the Chamber website or contact Alisa Runge at alisarunge@ gmail.com or (817) 875-6177. Cost for the luncheon is $20. In addition, mark your calendars for the 22nd Annual Great Taste of Grapevine, March 30, at the Courtyard/TownePlace Suites by Marriott, located at 2200 Bass Pro Dr. in Grapevine. This is a fun evening to enjoy great food from more than 20 local restaurants. If you are interested in participating or sponsoring this event, please contact Casey Maxfield at Casey.Maxfield@frostbank.com. I am very excited about 2017, and it should be another great year for the Women’s Division! I am honored and humbled to be part of this group of hard working, service oriented ladies. Please contact me with any questions or if you are interested in getting involved with the Women’s Division.
