There’s no better way to open multiple pathways to develop your career as a supply chain management professional.
I’ve been a member since 1999. It’s a great organization. I highly encourage people to join.
Beyond the networking opportunities within the profession there are a lot of educational opportunities ISM offers that will enhance your career.
I commend ISM for what they are doing in terms of the entire supply chain and specifically in terms of diversity.
In any profession you need continual knowledge; a network of people to be able to rely on, ask questions and learn from. ISM has been invaluable in my career.
