CSCMP Announces Inaugural Annual Supply Chain Professionals Day
Lombard, Illinois USA (April 9, 2018) - The Council of Supply Chain Management
Professionals (CSCMP) today announced the creation of the inaugural Annual Supply Chain
Professionals Day, honoring the professionals responsible for the buy, make, move and sell activities
that comprise the modern supply chain.
While there exists a National Truck Driver
Appreciation Week and a National Healthcare Supply
Chain Week, until now, there wasn't yet an official day
to celebrate the majority of professionals representing
the end-to-end supply chain every day.
"Our organization represents thousands of supply
chain professionals across the world. The creation of
the Annual Supply Chain Professionals Day allows us
to recognize this growing and evolving discipline and
the professionals who serve within it," said Rick Blasgen, CSCMP President and Chief Executive
Officer.
The idea for a professional organization of distribution managers (later referred to as logistics
managers) was first conceived in May of 1962, to meet an urgent need for continuing education and to
provide an opportunity for an interchange of ideas in this rapidly growing profession that has come to
be known today as supply chain management.
Fifty-six years later, CSCMP continues to serve today's supply chain professionals. Built by
members, for members, CSCMP connects, develops and educates the world's logistics and supply
chain management professionals throughout their careers. No matter where you are in your career
development, CSCMP has the resources to help you achieve your goals.
"It's exciting to see that we finally have an occasion to celebrate the contributions supply chain
professionals have within our global economy. All too often, our profession can remain behind-thescenes
and it doesn't always get the proper recognition for the important role we play in the success of
our organizations. Supply Chain Professionals Day should create an excellent opportunity each year
to show appreciation for those who have careers in the various aspects of the end-to-end supply
chain," said Mark Bray of ACR Supply Company and President of the CSCMP Raleigh Roundtable.
The Annual Supply Chain Professionals Day will be held annually the third Monday in May. The
inaugural 2018 Annual Supply Chain Professionals Day is scheduled to be held on May 21, 2018.
Mark your calendars and join CSCMP in celebrating today's supply chain management professionals
on the inaugural Annual Supply Chain Professionals Day.
