This years’ membership meeting our guest speaker from APICS Pacific Western District will be Rick Leach. He will be here speaking on benefits of CSCP and CPIM certifications. Also he will be sharing information on what is happening within the world of APICS outside of our chapter in the National and International stage.

I hope some of you have had time to review the OMBOK page on the website. This is a weekly newsletter from Abe Eshkenazi, CSCP, CPA, CAE, Chief Executive Officer of Apics.
