August is a busy month for APICS corporate, with online seminars, registration for Corporate Awards and the annual Conference & Expo and continuing training opportunities.

Locally, we encourage you to participate in the chapter by attending a Board Meeting, or submitting at article to be published in our newsletter. If your company is doing something new and exciting in its supply chain or operations, we'd love to hear about it. Submit entries to our writer, Kristin@justperfectprose.com, and we will work with you to get your company noticed.

In the August newsletter issue, check out the article, "Green is the New Lean" on page four to see how automakers are redefining their focus on becoming Green and expanding their operations to regain revenue from green initiatives.

Our Board of Directors meets the first Tuesday of every month at the Panera Bread store at I-80 and Truxel Road. These meetings are open to all.

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

Andre' Alves
Chapter President
