I am pleased to announce that David T. Norman CMC^® has been selected to be the next Chair of IMC USA, and will step into that role in May of 2011.  

Norman is founder and President of David Norman & Associates, a consulting firm offering results-oriented operations and general management consulting services to small and mid-sized companies, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies.    In his nearly 37 years of consulting experience, Norman has helped owners/executives of a wide variety of organizations develop long-range and strategic plans, assisted with succession issues and improved profitability.  He has served as Interim Executive Director at several not-for-profits and has assisted troubled organizations with improving operations, strengthening management and increasing profitability.  Norman is also Chair of a Charlotte Vistage group.  Vistage International is the world’s leading CEO membership organization.  

David brings broad experience in IMC USA to the Chair position.  He has been the Chapter President of the Carolina's Chapter, as well as their Certification Chair.  On the National level, he has been a Board member for 3 years, serving as the VP for Membership, VP for Marketing, and Chair of the Finance Committee, and has been my right hand man for much of that time. 

He holds an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is a CMC^® and Certified Business Manager (CBM).  He has published a wide variety of reports on technology and productivity; articles for magazines and newsletters on sales compensation, costing, creative problem solving and increasing profitability; and three books on costing, pricing and cost control.  Norman is an adjunct Professor at McColl School of Business at Queens University and at Pfeiffer University. 

I have been honored to serve as your Chair for nearly 3 years, and I know that when I hand the reins over to David in May 2011, that he is exactly the right person to take over as Chair.  He brings strong passion to the position, a belief that we are heading in the right direction, and the skills and drive to ensure that we are successful.  I look forward to work with him in my capacity as Immediate Past Chair and Lead Trustee to ICMCI. 

Please join me in congratulating David!!!

Yours in consulting,

Drumm McNaughton PhD, CMC^®
