September 2014 • Vol. 12, No. 1

ISM-NJ’s September meeting, which takes place on September 10, 2014, at the Dolce Hotel in Basking Ridge, N.J., will consist

of two unusual (and interesting) topics. The Pre-Dinner Forum will be “Inside the Real World of Paranormal Investi-gating,” presented by Joanne Emmons and Pat Kibby of Paranormal Con-sulting. They will explain how polls show that anywhere from 35% to 48% of Americans believe in ghosts and hauntings. Whether you believe or not, what do you do if inexplicable things begin happening in your own home, to your own family? Perfectly sane and skeptical people find themselves asking this question more often than you might think. For many the answer is to call a team such as Paranormal Consulting & Investigating of New Jersey (PCINJ). Also on the agenda for Pre-Dinner Forum is New Member Orientation presented by Lori Ciculya, Membership Director, and Deborah Augustus, Vice President/Business Development. They

September Monthly Meeting to Feature Paranormal Investigating, History of Secret Service

will explain about member benefits and ISM-NJ programs. The dinner speaker will be Jack Shaughnessy, Vice President Corporate Security, Wyndham Worldwide. Mr. Shaughnessy was a Special Agent of the U.S. Secret Service and will speak on “The History of the U.S. Secret Service.” Come and join us for this fascinating evening. (See page 3 for speaker information.)

Executive Message

One of the biggest benefits of membership in ISM-NJ is the ability to

Network, the ability to share experiences, knowledge and best practices with other

Supply Chain professionals.

Robert J. Murphy, CPSM, President

Greetings! On behalf of your Board of Directors, Com-mittee members and volun-teers, I’d like to welcome

the membership of the ISM-NJ to the 2014-15 program year. I hope you have all had a chance to relax and recharge a little over the summer break before getting back to the daily grind of work and school (and the rush hour traffic that accompanies it). Over the summer, your board and various committees have been meeting to plan an interesting and educational series of program offerings and meeting topics to keep you informed of what’s hap-pening in the rapidly changing world of Supply Chain Management. We kick off the year with a Mem-bership Meeting on Wednesday, September 10th at a new location for us: The Dolce Hotel in Basking Ridge, across from Verizon’s HQ. We will have a New Member Orientation and a program discussing the history and functions of the Secret Service. (Spoiler Alert: They do a lot more than protect the President!) On September 9th we will begin our webinar series with a one-hour program on The Successful Supply Management Function. These webinars have become a staple of the ISM-NJ continuing education effort and all our members should seize the CEH opportunities afforded by them. These are also a great way to get your newer procurement employees involved in continuing education. We will also be offering an on-line CPSM Bridge Exam review on the 19th as well as an all-day program on the 19th at Verizon, Basking Ridge, entitled “Dissecting the Supply Chain - Understand the Founda-tion.” Whether you are looking for a refresher course for yourself or need to get training for new staff, this is a great foundational course. Just click on the Meetings tab on the http://www.ismnj.

org site. October will be just as busy with a Breakfast Meeting on the 9th at the Hotel Somerset on Davidson Ave., Somerset. There are also several full-day courses being offered toward the end of the month. Please see the website for details. Mid–month brings the 6th Annual

Women & Leadership Conference to be held at the Westin Newport in Jersey City. This year’s theme is “Holistic Wellness” and will focus the attendees on Leadership, Wellness and Unleash-ing the Power of Procurement. Please see the link on our website for more details, a list of speakers and topics and Early Bird signup opportunities. There is also still time to become a sponsor of this event so contact Kathy Perna if interested. Wow. That’s a lot and it is only the first two months! Look for more announcements from the Program Committee, Professional Development, the EPG group, Mentoring, Supplier Diversity and Sustainability. There is so much going on and so many dedicated and hard-working volunteers putting together courses and presentations to keep you informed and well ahead of the pack. Please reward their dedication with your support and attendance. One of the biggest benefits of membership in ISM-NJ is the ability to Network, the ability to share experienc-es, knowledge and best practices with other Supply Chain professionals. Your network is a valuable thing and needs to be developed and cultivated. Please take the time to share your talents with your network and you’ll be rewarded for your efforts. I look forward to see-ing you all on the 10th.
