Membership information
update
We have found that
utilization of email and the website has
worked really well over the past year in
communicating information to the members
of this chapter. However, a recent query
of our membership files indicates that
we may not have all current email
addresses. If you know a member who
needs an email address correction to
receive further communications, we would
appreciate that they update their
membership profile at.apics.org.
Sincerely,
Joe Brackman, CPIM
