Dear Colleagues,
A new year is upon us bringing new and exciting challenges to ourselves and our industry. To help meet these challenges, the New Jersey Board is putting together a comprehensive meeting schedule for 2007.
Our first meeting of the year will feature a tour of the UPS World Technology Headquarters in Mahwah NJ. This is an excellent opportunity to see this world class facility and discuss important issues with your peers. I look forward to seeing you there. Make sure to register right away as attendees are limited.
In February Lance Humphries we will be hosting a meeting regarding CMDSS and well as CMDSM recertification. It is tentatively scheduled for February 19th. Information to follow.
