ASCM North American Chapter Announcement

ASCM has adapted its North American chapter structure to meet the changing needs of its members. Supply chain professionals learn and engage differently today. These changes will enable ASCM and its partners to deliver superior experiences for members and customers that are aligned with our rapidly shifting business environment.

As part of the new program, which begins January 1, 2021, the Albany Capital District Chapter will be transitioning to an ASCM Forum. As an ASCM Forum, we are creating a supportive local community for supply chain professionals, to connect with friends, peers and mentors; learn new skills; and create a better world through supply chain across the span of their careers. Should you have training or CPIM, CSCP, and CLTD certification needs, we will work with you and our ASCM Chapter partners or ASCM directly to fulfill your needs.

Between now and January 1, 2021, you will continue to enjoy the benefits of affiliation with us and ASCM. We appreciate your understanding during the transition.

The APICS Albany Capital District Chapter has achieved the APICS Chapter Benchmarking and Reporting (CBAR) Platinum recognition level.

Chapter management excellence is an integral component to enhancing the member experience. Successful APICS chapters provide their members with opportunities for stellar education, career development, and networking.
