Loraine Huchler’s Tenure Ends as CPC Chair

Tremendous thanks are due to Loraine Huchler, CMC, PE, for her four years of service as the Chair of the Chapter Presidents Council (CPC).

During her tenure, the CPC Chair became an advisory position and then ultimately a voting position on the IMC National Board. Huchler says, "This was the first time that chapters had a representative on the National Board, which is responsible for creating policy for the Institute and creating value for the membership. Before CPC, there was a lot of distance between chapters and the National organization, which was unfortunate. About half of the IMC members belong to chapters, which deliver most of the value to the members.”

"I think the CPC has really revitalized IMC,” Huchler continues. "It provided an opportunity to re-think the value of chapters and recognize that chapters were essential to the value delivery of the IMC membership.”

Participating in CPC is meaningful for the chapter presidents, too. "The purpose of the monthly calls is to transfer knowledge among presidents, provide peer to peer support, and serve as a sounding board to IMC to share member feedback,” Huchler says.

So what’s next for Loraine? "I want to go back and make a contribution to my chapter – I want to be an engaged member,” Huchler says with a laugh. "I want to experience the pleasures and rewards of being in the community with my chapter members. I can’t say enough about how being in community with that chapter helped me grow and understand what being a professional in the world of consulting has meant to me.”
