A panel of distinguished guests addressed what is without a doubt one of the most interesting and perhaps controversial issues facing the supply chain professional today . . . “Is the traditional association membership model dead?”

Moving from the shadows of an adjunct function of the finance department to a recognized role of strategic importance to the enterprise as a whole, the demands associated with the expanded responsibilities of today’s professional requires a timely dissemination of critical information, a relevant continuing education curriculum and the establishment of a dynamic and proactive membership network.

Unfortunately, there is a growing sentiment that traditional and long-standing associations are “stuck” in the “this is the way we have always done it” mindset that reflects an era that has long since passed them by.
