ISM-Houston members and friends,
As many are celebrating Easter this weekend along with Spring after the recent winter freeze, I was reflecting on both the Light at the end of the COVID tunnel, and the Leadership ISM-Houston has provided to the Houston Supply Chain community through this crisis.
With COVID cases generally declining across the U.S., the percentage of those vaccinated increasing, and corporations announcing back to work dates, we are starting to see the Light at the end of the long COVID challenge. This will be an adjustment for many after working from home for a year or more, combined with the shift back to in person classes, school and professional sports and other long awaited re-adjustments.
Through this challenge, I am extremely proud of the ISM-Houston Board, Executive Board, and supporting committees who have demonstrated selfless dedication to provide Leadership to the extended Supply Chain community across Houston. Their ability to pivot from our standard face to face events to highly effective virtual events that have delivered solid value to across Professional Development, Career Services, Emerging Professionals, was nothing less than astounding.
We have much to look forward to in the coming months including:
- Monthly PDMs (Women in Procurement, Expert Logistics Panel, and Expert Diversity panel)
- Monthly Career Services support meetings
- Marquee Supplier Golf/Expo June 3rd
We have much to thank the ISM-Houston team for and much to look forward to, as we return to the new normal.
The best is yet to come as we sprint toward the Light at the end of the COVID tunnel.
Best Regards,
Peter Dill
President, ISM-Houston
