President's Report
April 2020
Dear Supply Chain Professionals,
Supply Chains across the world are experiencing unprecedented challenges due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Our profession is front and center to provide essential needs in combating the spread of this virus. Workplaces are being disrupted with having non-essential employees working from home where they can. We are currently in the middle of this pandemic facing new challenges where we need to band together as professionals to work together for solutions.
During this time, the APCIS Columbus Chapter is unable to deliver instructor-led classes, professional development meetings, and networking social events due to the need to physically distance ourselves and limit the spread of the virus.
We have postponed our April PDM to 5/19 with e-Ventus. We are currently in talks with e-Ventus to attempt to still host the PDM, but possibly virtually instead of in person. We will update the Columbus chapter once we have finalized the details. This presentation will be on “Supplier Portals: Providing the Agility to Respond to Supply Chain Crises.”
Our Board of Directors has decided to start offering online classes for 1 on 1 tutoring for learners preparing for their certification exam. The idea of these tutoring sessions will be with a learner who has reviewed all the certification material and needs further clarification on a specific topic. Please contact [email protected] to setup your tutoring session, or if you have further questions. We are also working on putting together options on how to provide instructor led FULL courses online as well, as an alternative.
Again, please check out and like our social media pages, I've provided links to make it easier to find us on Facebook (@apciscolumbus), Instagram (@apics.columbus), twitter (@apicscolumbus), and LinkedIn (@APICS Columbus). We are working on providing the most up to date information on all of our social medias.
Sincerely,
Adam Korte, CSCP, SCOR-P
