The winter months have been long and spring the corner - which means that there is lots of exciting ISM functions soon approaching. ISM-St. Louis will be joining forces with APICS, Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), American Society for Quality (ASQ) and the Transportation Club of St. Louis (TCSL) to offer aNetworking event at the end of April. This should be an exciting opportunity to learn more about other Supply Chain organizations and to pick up tips for best practices that can be taken back to the office. More information on this event will be published shortly. The National Conference is in May and is being held in Phoenix, AZ this year. Coupled each year with the National Conference is Board Leadership Training - this is where board members from other ISM affiliates gather to share best practices and gather ideas for enriching their own affiliates. Once again, ISMhave representation at both the Leadership Training, as well as, the National Conference. I encourage you to view additional details about the National Conference on our home page.
