Field Selected as US Chamber Class Advisor
Mark Field, VP of Membership at the Knoxville Chamber, was recently selected as a class advisor for the June sessions of the Institute of Organizational Management. A professional development program administered by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Institute is a unique professional development experience specifically designed for association, chamber, and nonprofit professionals.
"Mark is a great leader and has brought tremendous value to the Knoxville Chamber," says Mike Edwards, president and CEO. "It's an honor for him, and the Knoxville Chamber, to take that experience and help chambers across the country."
Field directs the Knoxville Chamber's membership programs including benefit delivery, customer service, and events.
A class advisor is an Institute graduate whose enthusiasm helps his/her class to make the most of the Institute experience. Similar to homeroom teachers they answer questions, facilitate learning, and build team sprit.
Over the course of five days, Institute participants engage in 24 hours of classroom instruction, develop strong ties with professional colleagues, and strengthen their skills through professional development opportunities outside the classroom. Institute is one of the nation's oldest adult continuing education programs, dating back to 1921.
