"I can’t thank CSCMP enough for the great opportunities they’ve given me as I finish up my 25-year career in military logistics and supply chain management. Earning the Supply Chain Management Principles Certification starts me on the path towards translating my many years of military experience into something the civilian industry will more easily recognize. Attending the EDGE Conference gave me detailed insight into the challenges and situations of the industry and how my military experiences can be seamlessly integrated.
I’m excited to open a new chapter in my profession as I move from a rewarding career with military logistics into the civilian supply chain management field."
