President's Message

Fred WendtThis is my last President's Message, as my term ends on June 30, 2009. I have enjoyed serving as President for the last three and a half years. It's been a great experience. I'd like to thank the Board members who served during my two terms, as well as the chapter members.

With that being said, the new President will be Al Leigh, CPIM, CSCP. Many of you probably know Al. He is a chapter instructor and has been a presenter at several Professional Development Meetings. At the last PDM, Al was presented with the Instructor of the Year Award for 2008-09.

Al worked for DuPont for over 30 years in many roles and now has his own consulting practice, 3V. He has extensive experience in manufacturing, quality, and supply chain management. Al's creativity and energy have served the chapter well and will continue to do so as he takes over as Chapter President. I will continue to serve on the Board as VP – Education, a position I have held before.

Have a great summer, and we'll see you at the next PDM on September 15.

Fred Wendt, CPIM, CSCP
President, SDELV Chapter
