A Letter from the President

Dear ISM Family,

Happy New Year to all of you!

The board members and I are very excited about the events we have coming in 2023  and looking forward to growing this amazing community of supply chain professionals.    

It’s been a long couple years with the pandemic and all the consequential influences.

It’s been exceptionally impactful to our industry and has challenged supply chain in ways we never thought possible.

From this however, I believe it has highlighted our expertise and the bearing it has the success of all enterprises. 

Now, more than ever, companies are looking to supply chain and our ability to not only create stability, but also drive each organization in its effort to reach it’s goals and mission. 

Please keep an eye out for our upcoming events in 2023.

We have a refreshed plan to interact with all of members; not only from a professional but also social/networking standpoint.  

As always, thank you for being a valued member of ISM.

 

Best wishes to all!
