Who's Who
Students
Institute participants come from a variety of backgrounds—associations, chambers of commerce, and other nonprofit organizations. In their first four years, students concentrate on polishing leadership skills and developing strong management practices. Meanwhile, graduate students attend the Graduate Elective Program to stay connected with industry trends or engage in Institute for Advanced Management for a more intense, high-level exploration of leadership issues and practices.
Trustees
Institute's National Board of Trustees helps set the strategic direction of the Institute program. Trustees come from a wide variety of associations, chambers, and nonprofit organizations and often volunteer their time at the different Institute sites.
Regents
Each of the 5 Institute sites has its own Board of Regents that oversees the implementation of the program onsite. Regents are Institute graduates who are highly dedicated to the success of Institute and who work diligently throughout the year, setting the stage for a productive week.
Class Advisors
Each class has its own Class Advisor who is an Institute graduate and whose enthusiasm helps his/her class make the most of their Institute experience. Class Advisors are like homeroom teachers—they are there to answer questions, facilitate learning, and build team spirit.
Faculty
Institute benefits from the diverse expertise of faculty members drawn from associations, chambers, and nonprofits, as well as business consultants and university faculty. This unique mix gives students a broad perspective to build success in their own organizations.
U.S. Chamber Staff
The day-to-day operations are managed by U.S. Chamber staff, who welcome your questions onsite during the week and year-round from the Washington, DC, office.
