23 Years to the Day: A Farewell to Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE

from This Is IOM · host U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Organization Management

After 23 years to the day, exactly 100 Institute sites, 60 BeReal’s (including today’s!), it's time to say goodbye to one of the most dedicated champions Institute for Organization Management has ever had — Raymond P. Towle, IOM, CAE. Before he walks out the door on his very last day at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, IOM Staff member and host Cici sits down with Raymond for a proper retirement send-off.In this episode, we're reflecting, celebrating, and yes — getting a few things on the record. From his first Institute site and the creation of the IOM recognition, to staff dinners at Tornado Steak House, Raymondisms, and the three questions he's carried with him throughout his career — we cover the moments, the memories, and the legacy that have defined 23 years of service to this program and this industry.Raymond, you have been the heart and soul of Institute — and of this team — for longer than some of us have been in the workforce. The nonprofit professionals you've impacted will carry that forward long after today. We know where to find you — on the pickleball court. Host: Cici Francisco, IOM, CDPGuest: Raymond P.
