Ima Winchell Stacy (May 22, 1867 – August 11, 1923) was an American educator from Michigan who became known for her work in retail education and personnel training. She moved to Minneapolis as a child, and graduated from the University of Minnesota before beginning her career as a teacher. Stacy directed the education and personnel programs at the Dayton Company in Minneapolis, where she developed one of the first formal salesmanship training schools in the United States. In 1919, she joined the faculty of New York University’s School of Retailing, where she organized and led programs in salesmanship and retail training. She was also active in civic, religious, and alumni organizations, and supported woman suffrage.
