Unemployed Benefit Extension
In honor
of February, the shortest month, I will make this my shortest newsletter; quite a “challenge”.
I would like to mention a few important things. I want to acknowledge
another successful PDM at Nino’s with the keynote address by Steve Cassady of Kohler. He addressed us last year and we were
very pleased to have him back again. Unfortunately, I was double booked and
missed the great evening. Thanks to Linda Tryba and
Ruth Zimmermann for presiding over the meeting.
I also wish to acknowledge the fine effort of our LTC
student team at the Region 14 Student Case Competition recently held in Downers
Grove (they sponsor colleges and universities from all over the country-this
year 19 participated). It was the first year that I attended the event, and I
was most impressed with the quality of the solutions that the teams came up
with working through the night to prepare a written and oral presentation on
the case. Thanks to Steve Redmer and Jim Mani from LTC’s Supply Chain
Management Program Faculty, who attended as well, and of course Linda Tryba and Stacy Backhaus who serve a liaisons with our student
chapter and made all the arrangements necessary for our participation in the
event.
I still want to kept is short, but did want to mention a
change coming in APICS Governance. A number of changes were
made in order to reduce the size of the governing board and change its
structure to allow for people with specific talents to participate. The result
of this is that the number of Regions (which will be called Districts beginning
in 2008) was reduced from 14 to 9. Our region will be combined into District 13, which will include of
Our March PDM is “Student Night” and will
be held at Time Out in
