PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Keith J. Chaisson


The Board of Directors election is complete. The elected board is announced at the June Professional development Meeting and will be seated at the beginning of the new Chapter year July 1, 2009.

Additionally, June marks the last PDM for the 2008/2009 year. It has been a very interesting year with our huge joint meeting in December where we hosted a networking meeting for 12 individual societies and other APICS chapters. We set a record of 90 people attending. We plan to do that again this December 2009. We also had our first plant tour in a couple years graciously hosted by Linvatec and a truly enjoyable meeting it was. To view the remainder of the message, [click here]
