Supply & Demand Chain Executive recently published an interesting piece on the value of supply chain associations.\u00a0 It gave a nice, balanced review of what is going on currently with three major associations in the space:\u00a0 ISM, CSCMP, and, of course, the NLPA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was quoted on several topics, including how professional networking has evolved in today\u2019s digital world and\u00a0the value of procurement certification\u00a0to both individuals and organizations.\u00a0 My only disappointment with the article was that they discussed membership fees, noting CSCMP\u2019s $295 per person annual fee, but didn\u2019t mention that the NLPA is the only one of the three to offer a free membership option.\u00a0 Other than that little tidbit, though, it really was an article worth reading if your interested in considering association membership as a way of fortifying your career and making a positive difference for your organization.<\/p>\n
