Membership Corner
Membership Update – Janurary 2010
Welcome to New
Members
I'd like to welcome our
new members; it's great to have you in the Richmond Chapter! We look
forward to welcoming our new members at our next PDM.
One of our Chapter's
primary goals is to "provide opportunities to the membership and local
businesses to enhance relationships and communications." Retaining and
expanding our membership is paramount to that goal. No one can promote
our Chapter as you can --- we need and appreciate your help!
One of the best ways to
promote our Chapter is through word of mouth. We encourage all of our
members to invite a friend or associate to one of our meetings - we
welcome visitors. If you think your company would like to host a plant
tour for our group, please let us know.

Individual Membership
Individual
membership is open to professionals who wish to develop their operations
management skills and would like to retain their own membership. It
provides access to top-notch professional development opportunities,
product and service discounts, and award-winning publications.
Corporate
Membership
A company may elect to become an APICS Corporate member. By
becoming a Corporate member, the company as a whole benefits from
membership. When selecting this option, a company designates five
employee representatives to receive full membership privileges and to
receive regular information from APICS. In addition, all employees from
the same corporate location receive member discounts on courses,
publications, and other educational resources. Company memberships belong
to the company, all membership correspondence is sent to the central
address, and the five representative memberships can be transferred to
other employees whenever there are changes in personnel.
Joining APICS
Richmond
Individual and Corporate memberships are obtained via the APICS
International website at www.apics.org.
Please let them know that you wish
to join the Richmond chapter.
