Satellite Seminar - Thursday, February 9, 2006


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.
