Message from the Board

Welcome to the Central Iowa APICS Chapter!

 

CI APICS has been serving the central Iowa area for many years.  We serve over 100 members in the middle of Iowa, and consider ourselves the heart of the Heartland APICS Region.  We are a non-profit educational organization addressing operations management and supply chain management issues, and providing professional development opportunities to our members.

We offer dinner meetings the 2nd Wednesday of the month from September through June. Attending meetings is a great way to network and expand your knowledge of operations management.

Certification Review workshops are offered every month in both public and in-house offerings. Watch our Education Schedule for the latest offerings.

We are always looking for energetic volunteers to help manage the chapter. If you are interested in developing leadership skills then ask any Board Member how you can help.

We look forward to seeing you at an APICS event or helping you expand your operations management knowledge.

Sincerely,
Kent Guthrie, MBA, CPIM
Chapter President
2012-2013
