Tri-State APICS is adding a virtual aspect to our chapter! What this means is no matter where you are located, you are able to join our chapter and participate in our virtual events including supply chain education. Our physical location is Chattanooga, Tennessee and we are still dedicated to enhancing individual and organizational success by providing learning and networking opportunities in operations management while encouraging chapter participation. We are a small chapter with a “can do” attitude to help our members. In 2010 we will incorporate virtual events such as webinars and possibly a meeting in Second Life!

The face to face professional development meetings (PDM) are typically held the 3rd Tuesday of the month in downtown Chattanooga. Most of our face to face educational sessions are held at a local company. Link to our tentative schedule of public face to face classes

Contact us with questions or ideas so we may help make your membership more enjoyable. Your current BOD members include Deb Hansford, Cyndi Butler, Kelly Wills and Donald Hargis.
