Lisa Hoyt can now add the letters IOM after her name. In the chamber profession, that means she is a graduate of Institute for Organization Management, a program hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce. Lisa has been taking classes through Institute in Madison Wisconsin for the past four years and graduated from the program last week. She was chosen to be one of the two class speakers at the graduation ceremony. Completing Institute for Organization Management carries high prestige in chamber and association professions. We are very proud of Lisa's accomplishments and we are so happy to have her on the PRCC Team!
