| General Announcements |
The
Birmingham APICS Chapter sponsored a new APICS student chapter
at the University of Alabama in the fall of 2007 with the help
of board members Bill Petty and Chuck Sox and the university's
Operations Management Program. The new chapter
membership drive was very successful and recruited 50 new
student members. By partnering with the related student
organizations that already existed, the Society of Operations
Management Students and the Alabama Automotive Manufacturing
Students, the new APICS student chapter held several
educational meetings with industry speakers. The
Birmingham Chapter will sponsor one of the students to attend
the national APICS meeting this fall.
