18Unfulfilled Market Needs
- Currently APICS is reviewing / rebranding its
role as a mostly untapped global supply chain
resource - Few nationally recognized organizations have the
administrative support to develop and local
talent to deliver education on these modern
topics - An opportunity for both local and executive teams
to work together to quickly fill this void and be
on the forefront vs. follower / catch-up
18
19Chapter Benefits
- Increased membership by reaching out to new
industries that were not commonly represented - Increased value to members as APICS fills the
leadership role for modern supply chain education
and execution - Increased revenues in membership dues and an
expanded opportunity for stand-alone / single-day
presentations that are regionally focused
