About
The Canadian Institute of Marketing was incorporated in 1982 after being established by James H. Jarrett, MCInst.M., FCInst.M., a marketing teacher at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. The organizational structure of the institute was based upon the organizational structure and membership standards of The Chartered Institute of Marketing in the United Kingdom. The Institute was located in Ottawa, until Mr. Jarrett completed the succession of management of the Institute in 2000. The decision was taken at that time to advance the Institute as a virtual, Web-based self governing institution with a mailing address of one of the Institute’s officers or Executive Director. The bureau of the Institute has been located at its current address in Georgetown, Ontario since 2003.
