AUGUST 2010

Dear Member: 

It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over. If you like hot beach weather, this was a great summer. Now that we are approaching September its time to start thinking about professional development programs and how we can fit them into our busy schedules. Not that we did not think about it in the summer, it’s just that most of us had other priorities. With this letter you are receiving a copy of the Calendar of Events for the September 2010 to June 2011 year for the Purchasing Management Association of Western New England. We have also posted this calendar on our web site www.pmawne.com. Take a few minutest to review the programs and mark them on your calendar.  

This year the PMAWNE will be presenting breakfast and dinner meetings with great speakers, two tours and two seminars. The March 2010 seminar will continue our practice of being free to all members who have paid their 2011 dues. You can’t get a better value than free 

Cost control continues to be critical for all of us, so take advantage of the seminars we are presenting, low cost, no overnight travel, professional speakers and information you can immediately put to use on the job. Our first seminar on November 10, 2010 Improving Purchasing Skills will provide a great learning experience for both the newer and more experienced buyer and we will again have an early registration discount.  

I look forward to seeing you at our meeting this year.
