Thought Leadership

One of my favorite movies is Moneyball. Why? Because it so very well describes the challenges of a change agent, an innovator, a maverick. Someone with a new perspective, a new approach, a new idea. Someone who questions the processes that have been in existence (and accepted) for years. You know, a Thought Leader.

And that’s how I see myself. A Thought Leader. Whether I’m right or not remains to be seen.

Thanks for the Memories!

Reflections of my career with ASCM Twin Cities Chapter.

As I approach my retirement and prepare for the next chapter of life, my emotions are working overtime! I am happy and sad, excited and apprehensive, joyful and melancholy, but mostly so very grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this great organization, surrounded by the best of the best! 

APICS/ASCM Twin Cities Chapter has been so good to me! It has been my absolute pleasure serving the members, volunteers, board members, and all those I’ve connected with over the years!
