Students (with school ID) fees dropped from $15 to $10. Guests and inactive APICS members will continue to pay the current $30 fee until their membership status is initiated or renewed. Cash, check or charge at the door. We have lined up great technical speakers with pertinent topics this season, we are hosting our second annual very successful Networking PDP in December, and we will be having another plant tour in May, location under review.

Craig Williams, CPIM ñ VP Programs  Your APICS Florida West Coast Chapter is organizing a day where we can give back to those that have a greater need. Get to know your fellow APICS members while giving back to the community. Why Volunteer? Part of being a great volunteer is loving what you're doing. Find something that you're passionate about or something that inspires you, and then find a need in your community. There are dozens of reasons why you should volunteer - you just need to find the one that feels right. 20 Great Reasons to Volunteer:
We are considering two options, Habitat for Humanity and the other option is Second Harvest. Please e-mail Ed Stohr with your choice of volunteer organizations at edstohr@gmail.com. Once we have made a selection we will coordinate a date for this event. SEPTEMBER 2009 Peter J. Christiano Welcome to the APICS Florida West Coast Chapter 2009/2010 season. We are planning an exciting season of professional development meetings and we will be doing many things that are focused on maximizing your membership. During this coming year we will do our membership survey that looks at what we do and how you feel we are doing. This is important to us on the Board of Directors so we can make decisions on improving your experience. Please help us with this survey when it is presented. We plan to do many more surveys to gather additional feedback from you. This year we will hold our huge networking opportunity with other local professional societies. This was a huge success last year and the feed back we received was very positive. The collaboration with the other societies expose everyone to additional resources and information that may not have been readily identified previously. As I begin my year as Chapter President, I wish to ask for your feedback as to what we can do to maximize your membership. Feel free to contact me and I'll see you at the professional development meetings. Best Regards, Peter J. Christiano President Florida West Coast Chapter APICS Visit the Chapter's job postings
