SOUTHWEST DISTRICT MEETING AGENDA

We have an amazing
line up of activities and presenters in
addition to the Third Annual Student Competition
in store for you:
First,
Abe Eshkenazi, CEO of APICS (presentation),
will be our keynote speaker. Straight from
the cold of Chicago to the warmth of Sunny
California. (wasn't too hard to convince
him to come).
Your opportunity to address all of your
questions of APICS.
Next,
as a good number of Southwest District chapters
are in the process of launching the new
Lean Workshop in 2009, we have invited three
very special guest speakers to bring an
executive perspective to Lean concepts and
techniques that will be useful in the marketing
of the workshop series, enhance instructor
knowledge and in general increase the awareness
of how corporate level executives provide
leadership in an enterprise’s “Lean
journey”.

Spend a wonderful evening reminiscing with your

times we live in. Enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres
in a fine setting as well as the entertainment
provided by Magician Marty Gorman, a local resident
who has been active in the magic community for
many years. We will also feature some fun surprises
and a few interesting contests as well, so this
event is sure to be much different from anything
that has been done before at previous District

after you leave! Sign up today! Cost $35.
