More Education,
More Knowledge, and
More Competitive. That's APICS!
Dear Members and Friends,
We of The Rock Valley Chapter Board hope that you all had a happy and safe holiday season.
We are pleased to announce that we, along with the Chicago Land Chapters, had enough enrollees to provide the CSCP course scheduled at the NIU-Hoffman Estates facility beginning last month. Our Chapter’s cooperative arrangement with the Chicago Land Chapters is a new effort making it possible to provide CSCP course offerings at each of the NIU satellite facilities. We would like to offer CSCP course work at the NIU-Rockford facility as well. Please let us know if you would be of interested in that as well. Your feedback is welcome. Of course, we continue to offer CPIM courses through Rock Valley College and encourage you to reference our website for details on those.
Our next PDM is coming up in March at Cliffbreakers and will feature Paul Hoffman CPM, CPIM, CRIM who is Director of Global Sourcing for Greenlee-Textron in Rockford, Illinois. More details and updates will be posted shortly on our "Upcoming Events" page.
Additionally, we want to remind you that we are holding a half-day, Supply Chain Management seminar April 17 at the Clock Tower Resort. The instructor is Dr. Don Eisenstein, Professor of Operations Management at the University of Chicago. Visit our new "Education" page to learn more about the instructor and seminar. Hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Ellen Granneman
