By the term “new” I not only use it to describe myself as new to the position but also new to the industry. I came to AM Technical Solutions just over two years ago and we became actively involved in ISPE about a year ago. I will make this first newsletter short and sweet as I plan on sending another one out at year end to lay out the objectives that the Board wants to try and accomplish along with help from the Members. Speaking of the Board and Directors, I wanted to thank everyone that is volunteering their time to participate in the ISPE Chapter leadership. Please note them all below: continued on page two message from the president Officers continued from front page would capture a large audience? Please send in your thoughts to me at tglasson@amts.com as we would like to hear them. President: Tim Glasson Vice President: Amber Myers Treasurer: John E. Clark Secretary: Ricardo Jimenez Upcoming ISPE National events include the ISPE Annual Meeting from Oct. 12-15 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The venue set-up will be different than the last time, so come and join us for this great event. Also mark your calendars for the new Pharma EXPO in Chicago, Nov 2-5, 2014. Co-located with PACK EXPO International at McCormick Place; this is a new event designed to connect pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers with the packaging, processing and other supply chain technologies. Directors Joe Rettinger Craig Laubacher Joe Sullivan Bill Shwaiko Marissa Pels Lucas Hicks (YP Chair) Shannon Goodson (Past President) In closing, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to lead this Chapter over the next year. I am hopeful that together we can continue to build the a stronger and more sustainable Chapter that is able to offer value back to our Members and stakeholders. One action item for all the Members that we would like to hear, is how do we get another networking event(s) for the Chapter that brings success like the annual golf tournament does that Joe and Bill organize? That event is what really keeps this Chapter alive and is a huge success each year. Is there some other event (s) that we could do in Austin, Houston or Oklahoma City that Tim Glasson www.cgmpvalidation.com 2 masy@masy.com www.masy.com 2014 ISPE ANNUAL MEETING 12–15 October 2014 Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada USA Exchanging Ideas.
