Wanted: Speakers
Speakers for APICS NONJ!!!We are constantly on the lookout for exceptional speakers to address our monthly Program Dinner Meetings (PDM's). If you are qualified to present a 45-60 minute presentation on an Operations Management topic, we would like to hear from you. The topic needs to be on or related to aspects of Supply Chain Management. It does not have to be a direct hit on production and inventory control, that is old school. Supply Chain Management touches on all areas of a company and these interrelationships make for a suitable presentation.
Please submit in 100 or fewer words, a write-up on the topic you would like to present. Also, include a bio on yourself. Submit to jbragar@verizon.net.
