    I'm excited to welcome each of you to the Chicago Roundtable for the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP). It's an honor to continue my tenure as President, and I can't wait for the exciting journey ahead.

    CSCMP isn't just a group; it's a network of professionals working together to make supply chain management better. Whether you're experienced or just starting out, CSCMP is the premier association to learn, work together, and grow in your career.

    Our Chicago Roundtable is a way to connect locally between CSCMP EDGE Conferences. It's where people with similar interests can connect, share ideas, and stay updated on the newest things happening in supply chain management. As the heart of our city's supply chain professionals, we're focused on creating a friendly place for learning, improving skills, and making meaningful connections.

    Throughout the year, we organize different events. By joining in, you'll get to talk to leaders in the industry, learn useful things, and make friendships that can last a long time.  Our annual seminar is planned for April 18th in Oak Brook, our summer soiree Technology Presentation and Wrigley Rooftop is planned for August 27th, and our annual golf outing is still in the works.

    In 2024 we are also planning:

    • Women's Leadership event
    • Transportation theme dinner cruise
    • 2-day FEMA training event, hosted at Uber Freight in the old post office
    • Continuing our ongoing Networking Discussion Happy Hours, hosted at HERE Technologies in the loop
    • Establishing regular virtual panel discussions and networking events on the REMO platform
    • Regular short-form golf networking events throughout the Chicagoland area
    Visit CSCMPChicago.org for more information on our upcoming events, sponsorship opportunities, and our volunteer board.

    I encourage you to make the most of your CSCMP membership and join in with our Chicago Roundtable. Whether you want to learn more, meet new people, or help make our field better, CSCMP has what you need.

    Thanks for being part of our group. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

  • Port of Chicago - Tour and Presentation

    Our first-ever Port of Chicago Tour was informative and offered a very unique perspective on supply chain management.
    We learned about: the role that ports play in facilitating the movement of bulk goods from destinations both near and far;  port logistics and warehouse operations;   inland ports vs seaports; and  port-specific lexicons, e.g. free-trade-zones, supply chain optimization, and stevedores.
    CSCMP members and guests convened in the beautiful Harborside Golf Resort for industry presentations prior to departing for a guided bus tour.

    Slam Dunk!
    Our event started with an exclusive access tour of the United Center, the stadium that is home to the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks. We got an insider’s view into the operations of the building – from the unloading docks and storage areas to the basketball court to the seats – focusing on the significant logistical coordination to maintain the building and provide seamless support during events. Scott Boyke, Director of Building Operations lead the tour and presentation followed by networking and refreshments in our reserved event space before we transitioned to the 200-section to watch Chicago Bulls take on the Denver Nuggets!
