Membership Corner
March, 2008
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 in
March at our next PDM.
- Phillip Ronca, Hill Phoenix
- Jiawel Guo
- Glen Jones, MeadWestvaco
- Chris Shaffer, Turnkey Promotions
One of our Chapter's primary goals is to "provide opportunities to
the membership and local businesses to enhance relationship 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. Speak to
your company about our organization and becoming a Corporate Member.
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.
