Chapter #1 Members,

 

The national IIE promotion for signing up new members that started in December is still on for this month.  Do so and you have two chances at winning a $100 gift card. See the following link for more details: http://web.iienet.org/promotions/iieemail11-05.htm.

 

IMPORTANT MESSAGES

One of the great things about January is that many companies' have a fiscal year based on the calendar year.  This typically allows new budgets to be started and more job opportunities to open. The IIE website currently has over 30 listings (http://jobs.iienet.org/c/search_results.cfm?site_id=161). Our chapter Job Coordinator Mike Devenney confirms he has been hearing about job openings both locally and nationally in areas of distribution, logistics and supply chain.  Two local opportunities are attached; if you are interested, contact info rmation is provided.
