Welcome to the August edition of the ASCM Twin Cities Newsletter! As we savor the last days of summer and prepare for the upcoming fall, we're excited to share another month of updates, inspiring events, and community spotlights.

Emily LeVasseur (CTSC In-Process)

President of ASCM Twin Cities

I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely, Upper-Midwestern summer so far.

As I step into the role of President of the chapter I am looking forward to continuing the important work of providing the world-class standard of supply chain education to people around the country and working with this passionate board on behalf of one of the largest membership bases in the US and Canada.

Dancing on the Edge of the Solution

Too often, we seem to be very close to a solution. We’ve identified the problem. We’ve identified what goals we need to achieve. But somewhere in the execution of our solution, we’ve missed the mark. Fallen short. 

Sometimes the actions we are taking do not have the intended effect. Or our application doesn’t go far enough. Or we apply the solution as a “one-size-fits-all” when actually one size only fits some.

Reflections of my career with ASCM Twin Cities Chapter.

As I approach my retirement and prepare for the next chapter of life, my emotions are working overtime! I am happy and sad, excited and apprehensive, joyful and melancholy, but mostly so very grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this great organization, surrounded by the best of the best! 

APICS/ASCM Twin Cities Chapter has been so good to me! It has been my absolute pleasure serving the members, volunteers, board members, and all those I’ve connected with over the years!
