ISM-Atlanta, Inc.

A Chapter of the Institute for Supply Management working together to advance the profession of supply management.

July 2023 Meeting

We had a great meeting with a great speaker, Mike Mohr, who brought some great ideas and discussion around “How do we do more with less”, a topic that is very top-of-mind these days for almost all of us in Procurement. We look forward to putting what we learn to good use as we move through our jobs in these difficult times. We hope you will join us next time as we continue the conversation with our Atlanta Supply Chain peers. Who knows what the next meeting might bring? What do you want to hear/learn/talk about?
