JILL HICKMAN, SPHR ELECTED IMC HOUSTON PRESIDENT
2009-2010
Jill HIckman, SPHR and President of Jill HIckman Companies has been elected the 2009-2010 incoming President of the Institute of Management Consultants, Houston Chapter.
Jill Hickman celebrates her 12th year in business as a leadership consultant and coach. A Past President of the American Society for Training and Development Houston Chapter, Jill's leadership expertise spans the corporate and non-profit world, professional organizations, alumni associations, and civic associations, serving in a variety of membership positions including special project volunteer, committee chair and board officer. Jill was recently honored as Outstanding Leader of 2008 by the University of Houston - Clear Lake, selected from an alumni base of over 48,000.
Hickman identifies IMC Houston as "THE place to learn, grow, and build your management consulting career and practice. Our board is ready to provide members with exceptional opportunities to do so. The members of IMC Houston are consulting experts and professionals at the top of their game here in our nation's 4th largest city. We're the 'go to' consultants who are ready and able to make a positive difference in the companies and individuals that we serve," says Hickman.
Jill believes that leadership must take an active role inside and outside the organization. "Leadership doesn't stop at the doors to your company. It's a lifetime commitment to identify and respond to the need around you, be that a professional, organizational, or civic responsibility. Whether that response dictates your direct involvement or in identifying others who can step up to the plate, leadership demands acute observation, a willingness to learn, and the courage to take action."
