About the Chapter: The San Diego Chapter is one year old, born out of the SoCal IMC Chapter in LA and Orange County. We are a group of experienced consultants who volunteer our time to learn from and support our peers. IMC USA is the professional association (not for profit) and certifying body dedicated to promoting excellence and ethics in management consulting. The IMC USA's mission is to provide certification, education, and professional resources to management consultants.
