USMA President 2008-2009

On behalf of the USMA Board and I wanted to express how much we enjoyed your participation at the 14th Annual 2009 USMA Educational Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

As President of the USMA over the past twelve months the Board Members and participants made this conference truly amazing from beginning to end.  Some of the highlights of the conference; we had 498 participants attend the conference making this our 3rd strongest year.  The quality of attendees made up for the quantity. There were 67 exhibitors and over 400 participants at the Networking session renewing or forging new relationships. Also, 37 speakers presented topics directly related to the business or supply chain management.

The initial feedback from the conference is summarized as "OUTSTANDING with EXCELLENT topics." "The speakers were well informed of their subject."  The survey responses showed a valued experience by an overwhelming majority of participants.  The strong attendance, high marks and positive comments are a reflection of the quality and depth of content. The USMA is committed to fostering excellence in the understanding and best practices of "Supply Chain Management."

Look forward to seeing everyone at the 15th Annual USMA Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

Regards,

Steve Waller,
President, USMA
