To our Readers: President’s Message

The 2008-2009 year was a terrific one.  We were able to secure some great speakers who have helped keep us abreast of the world issues which affect our daily lives.  If these wonderful networking events are to continue, we really need volunteers to help plan and conduct the meetings.  The current Board has a wealth of knowledge, but new ideas are needed to keep our programs fresh.  The more individuals we have on the Board, the more we can do to continue the APICS mission of education.  New officers for the 2009-2010 year have been elected, see the chart in the newsletter with the changes.  There are still a couple of open positions for next year, if anyone is interested please contact Linda Tryba   LMTRYBA@aol.com or Deb Gunderson dgunderson@tm.net

.

 

Thanks to everyone who made Top Management Night a great success!  Thomas Krupka gave terrific insights into how world economic growth is affecting our lives. 

 

We are still looking for a place to hold our CPIM classes next year.  Please contact any Board member if you have a classroom available in the evening. 

 

Please start making plans for next year if you are interested in obtaining your CPIM.  Having this certification is definitely a plus if you are looking to advance your career.  New graduates in Operations Management who obtain the CPIM receive at least 15% higher pay than those who do not.  We are also looking for someone to teach the CSCP certification classes.

 

Have a wonderful summer and we will see you again next program year!
