The Proffesional's Collaboration
What makes the Champlain Valley APICS chapter unique among
APICS chapters is our close affiliation with other proffesional
organizations in the area. Twice a year, by the name of TPC, (The
Professional's Collaboration), networking meetings are held in which
members from different industries and disciplines can come together to
mingle, discuss recent topics and hear guest speakers. What
better way to meet make new friends, see old ones and get together with
people that have the same interests and commitment that you do to
ongoing education and training in the workplace.
