Abe Eshkenazi, CSCP, CPA, CAE
ASCM CEO

ASCM Chapters are core to the transformations that are taking place in the supply chain profession. Our chapters have the power to go beyond the transactional and transform the lives of lives and their organizations. How will you, as part of the ASCM Community, guide your organization and the community-at-large to carry the future forward?

Abe will discuss the APICS to ASCM evolution, how our Body-of-Knowledge (BOK) has expanded from a specific focus on manufacturing to the broader end-to-end sustainable supply chain. He will as well highlight our geographical expansion to becoming the premier global supply chain certification organization. Discussion will include ASCM’s progression beyond transaction focus (e.g., selling memberships, courses, certification materials) to a higher-level strategic position involving corporations and the world-at-large. This includes a vision to move from curating BOK content from other sources to creating content as the premier source of BOK knowledge.
