May 19th’s
Dinner Meeting will be the last meeting for the 2008-2009 year. I wish to thank not only the past
presidents for who the meeting will honor but all of those individuals who have
so unselfishly given of their time over the years to assist wherever help
was needed to keep the Chapter active.
I
particularly want to thank the following who have not only assisted me but
have taken the initiative on many occasions to keep things running
smoothly:
Jack
Antalek, Steve Asseff, Terri Braun, Denise Dauchy, Wendy Davis, Gary
Dellosa, Frank DiMauro, Barbara Osyk, Amy Tannert and Bill Thompson.
Please
consider volunteering. To paraphrase
– Many hands do indeed make the work light.

Krasnicki – President

NAPM-Akron Meeting - Appreciative Inquiry
Appreciative Inquiry is an approach to problem solving
that focuses on the positive rather than the negative. Shouldn’t we concentrate on “what works”
rather than “what doesn’t work”?
Perhaps some of your peers have found another way to make things
work in the event of similar issues – how can YOU best take advantage of
their strategies and not “re-invent the wheel”?
What
better time than Past Presidents’ night to focus on how we can all learn
from each other and talk about what
has worked for others in the past?
Please bring your problems AND
your solutions to this meeting! This
event will provide an opportunity for us to all learn from each other.
This
discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Barb Osyk. Dr. Osyk is the current Director of
Speakers for NAPM-Akron. Dr. Osyk is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Management at The University of Akron.
She teaches in the areas of supply chain management, operations
management, and quantitative business analysis and conducts research in the
areas of student learning and the implementation of technology in the
supply chain.
