President's Message                                                                                                                

 

This summer newsletter has two main purposes. We wish to congratulate our award and scholarship winners, who received their awards at the April PDM, and to make the membership aware of our CPIM Review Classes and PDM schedule for the upcoming year. Work continues to arrange speakers and facilities and details will be communicated in future newsletters.

 

The following individuals were recognized as members of the year at the April Awards and Top Management Night PDM. Jim Prellwitz of Manitowoc Cranes was selected as he has supported the chapter with attendance at nearly all PDM’s for a number of years, even when he was working in Green Bay. Jim has attended several BOD meetings, and has agreed to serve as Executive VP, which means that he will become president for 2007-2008. Our other Member of the Year is Mark Duff of Kohler Company. He has served on the BOD since joining the organization first serving as webmaster, and then taking over the newsletter when that position was vacated. He has brought new ideas and innovations to both of our major communication methods, as well as through a number of improvement suggestions he has authored. So a hearty congratulations and a big thank you goes out to both of our individual award winners.

 

Our company of the Year award went to Bemis Manufacturing Company. They were most deserving as they have done so much for us through the years. They have always supported membership and PDM attendance, but have also provided a President; Instructor, and PDM keynote speaker in Kurt Petersen. Additionally, many Bemis employees have participated in our CPIM Review Program, and in fact, they have provided the venue for those classes for the past two years. Anyone who has taken the review classes at the Bemis facility knows it is has an excellent training room, well equipped and conducive to learning. Again, congratulations and thank you for your support, in so many ways to Bemis.

 

Scholarships were awarded to Rhonda Shermeister and Adam Jelenc. Both are students at Lakeshore Technical College.  Adam is also the son of one our members and CPIM instructors. Congratulations, and continued success in your educational endeavors.

 

We’d also like to congratulate Carolyn Johnson, our Vice President – Membership.  She received special recognition at the 35th Annual LTC Awards Banquet for her LTC Supply Chain Club activities, especially this past year serving as President. She has demonstrated outstanding leadership as evidenced by her facilitation of club meetings. Her participation in the Region 14 Case Competition resulted in the LTC team finishing third against 16 teams from other 2 year technical colleges and 4 year universities.

 

Please see the schedules for our PDM’s and CPIM Review Classes in this newsletter. Registration for the CPIM Review classes is open, so please contact me either by phone or email (preferable) to register, or to get further information on the program.

 

Have a happy, healthy and safe August, and please join us at our PDM’s, or CPIM review Classes beginning in September. I look forward to seeing you then.
