President’s Message

Happy New Year!  Welcome to the year 2010, it promises to be an exciting finish to our program year.  Our next PDM is in Manitowoc at Knox’s Silver Valley, the weather doesn’t occasionally co-operate at this time of year but the food is always good and the speaker exceptional.  Greg Gauthier joins us again with what promises to be yet another informational evening.  See below in the newsletter for more information.

 

Looking ahead to 2010 there are many new opportunities coming up.  We will be electing a new BOD in May.  Positions open include vice-president, Web master and Member at Large.  If you are interested in any of these position or in joining the BOD contact Linda Tryba or Deb Jones for more information.  You will find board positions to be a challenging and rewarding experience.

 

International Conference this year is Oct 12-19 in Nashville, TN.   You can reinforce the best practices, tools, and techniques learned at the APICS International Conference & Expo from previous years by accessing the APICS Live Learning Center.

 

CPIM classes are held weekly to assist you in obtaining your APICS certification.  Contact Bruce Balthazor brucegbalthazor@DRS-PCT.com for more information.  The APICS CPIM exams will continue to be offered by computer-based testing in North America throughout the year. Specific dates and hours of operation vary by CBT site.

 

Of behalf of the Board we look forward to seeing you at the PDM on January 19.

Presentation Abstract

 

Topic- Internal Negotiating Skills

 

Hardly a day goes by that your job doesn’t require you to negotiate with others within your organization. Most would agree that internal negotiations can be more challenging than external negotiations. Yet, organizations must take a win-win approach to internal negotiations if they are to increase and prolong their value. Our presenter will look at the nature of internal negotiations and offer some practical advice for negotiating the best outcome for you and the organization.
