Matthew Myers, marketing and communications manager of the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, recently graduated from the Institute for Organization Management, the professional development program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

Mr. Myers received the IOM recognition, awarded to all graduates of the institute program. The program signifies an individual’s completion of 96 hours of course instruction in nonprofit management. In addition, participants can earn credit hours toward the Certified Chamber Executive or Certified Association Executive certifications.

Mr. Myers started working at the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce in 2013 as a marketing intern while completing his communications degree from Fitchburg State University and was subsequently hired as marketing coordinator for the chamber’s tourism arm, the Johnny Appleseed Trail Association. He was promoted to marketing and communication manager in 2016.

“My time at Institute has been an incredible learning experience,” said Mr. Myers. “The lessons learned in the classroom and from my fellow peers have been valuable to my growth as a professional and have been things that I have been able to take back to the Chamber to help improve upon the work that we are doing.”
