MONTVALE, N.J., May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Announced today, The 2016 American Business Awards named IMA^® (Institute of Management Accountants) the winner of a Bronze Stevie® Award in the "Organization of the Year – Non-Profit or Government" category, citing its growth, innovation and commitment to members as deciding factors.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program and all organizations operating in the U.S. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. This year, more than 3,400 nominations were submitted and judged by 250 professionals worldwide.

"Most professional organizations struggle with the advent of the Internet (where many professionals find free advice/counsel). IMA hasn't.
