Satellite Seminar - Thursday, February

Ethics in Supply Management:
Minding Your Actions and Decisions
This
satellite seminar program explores the role of ethics in supply management.
The news continues to address this topic in the wake of ongoing business
improprieties. Embed a strong code of ethics in the actions and documents
within your supply organization and learn more about your obligation in a
global society. We will also explore how to develop and enforce a strong
code of ethics and how to address conflict of interest and anti-trust issues.

Scholarship Announcement
Do not miss out on the
various scholarship programs available to you and your family. Check the NAPM
Akron web site for scholarship
details.
The
C.P.M. scholarship program has been modified to increase the members
participation requirement along with a few other cosmetic changes; the George
E Price Scholarship program has had minor cosmetic changes only; the member's
sons/daughters program has been upgraded to ease the restrictions on the
sons/daughters while adding additional participation on their parent
member. Sons/Daughters applicants no longer have GPA or essay
requirements and students may also apply if they are attending an accredited
community or junior college. Their member parent must attend more of our
activities for their sons/daughters eligibility.
We've made it easier
for the students (and a little more restrictive for you, the member) so
please encourage your sons/daughters to apply. Please read the guidelines of
each program carefully.
Your feedback is
important so please send all comments to:
