Academic Professionals and Students: Boston APICS adds no additional fees to your APICS membership: $25 gets you in! The 2nd Annual North East District Student competition held at Bryant University was a phenomenal success. This turned out to be a great event and delivered positive press to the APICS society. APICS collaborative chapters and sponsoring chapters should be proud of this achievement and praise from the student community. Students truly understand the effort involved in organizing this event and the opportunity for them to be exposed to high caliber judges from the supply chain community. What is better this year was the fact that this is a collaborated event with North Shore and Providence. This event is becoming more financially viable and sustainable with the support from other chapters and sponsors. The first prize in the Graduate track was awarded to Boston University. North Eastern University won the first prize in the under-graduate track. Please read the complete Press release here!

Member Benefits Given the tough economic times, our APICS national body has instituted a bail out program on its own. It has offered free membership renewals for unemployed members for a period of six months from the expiration of their current membership. I would like to bring to your attention useful member resources on the APICS website including: Both resources are available on http://apics.org/resources. Nation wide job listings are available at the Apics career center. Finally do you know that, as a member, you can request a paper copy of the OMBOK, the Operations Management Book of Knowledge? You can download a pdf copy for your ready reference and also request the book be mailed to you.
Boston Chapter of APICS has been associated with many successful professional events in the area. Our Holiday party jointly hosted with the North Shore Chatper will see record turnout this year. I firmly believe that the supply chain profession is emerging as the most lucrative and rewarding career for aspiring professionals and Boston is leading the way in the North East!
