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

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