The Gilmer Institute of Learning


The Gilmer Institute
Formerly The Rance R. Willis Educational Foundation

The mission of the Foundation was to strengthen the organization by providing support to our members and chapters through:

  • Educational Opportunities
  • Leadership Training
  • Technical Assistance
  • Financial Assistance

The question was how does SGMP re-tool and outfit a part of its organization that has served its members well, but now must meet the demands of a larger membership, ever-changing educational and leadership needs and funding of top programs to meet our industry needs?

The Gilmer Institute of Learning Trustees below were nominated and voted in by peer SGMP members for a two year term starting July 1, 2010.
