President's Report
February 2019
Dear Supply Chain Professionals,
Welcome back to some “normal” Ohio weather, I hope everyone made it through the Polar Vortex without any issues! We had a very successful joint meeting with ASQ learning about change management and best ways to implement change within your organization. We are VERY excited to present our Second Professional Develop Meeting of the year with our new friends at TECH! They will be hosting us for a short presentation and PLANT TOUR on February 19, 2019 at 6:00PM, follow up in the PDM Section for more details.
The Education master schedule was recently updated, we are working to put together a CPIM training for the middle of February. We need at least 5 students to attend for a class or refresher, the cutoff date is February 9, 2019, if you are interested, please sign up! Corporations can always schedule in-house courses that meet your requirements outside of the public course schedule. Contact Steve Fedan, education@apics-col.org.
At our most recent Board of Directors meeting we met with 3 of our new Members at Large; Michael Torch, Steve DeNuzio, and Matt Reeping. From the Board and I we want to say Thank You for volunteering your time to the Columbus Chapter, we look forward to working with you and finding new opportunities for our Chapter.
As we work through the details of our transition to ASCM, Association of Supply Chain Management, we are working on updating our website and membership opportunities, I have attached file that walks through some of those benefits. Please review and if you have any questions please email me at president@apics-col.org.
Again please check out and like our social media pages on facebook (@apciscolumbus), instagram (@apics.columbus), twitter (@apicscolumbus), and LinkedIn (@APICS Columbus).
Sincerely,
Adam Korte, CSCP, SCOR-P
