CSCMP Board of Directors Form
Joining the board is something that can benefit individuals in many ways.
Everyone has their reasons for joining and as much as possible we would like to
help members achieve their personal and professional goals. This process was
created to help potential board members understand the benefits of being an
active participant of the Roundtable Board. It also helps to convey what we
expect from you, what you can expect from the board and allows us an
opportunity to learn more about you.
What we expect from you
There are a few basic expectations that we would like you to understand prior
to considering becoming part of the Roundtable Board.

The board meets 10 times during the year, once a month from
September through June for about 1.5 hours. We typically meet the
third Thursday of each month from 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Long
Beach area.

It is expected that board members attend at least 7 of the 10
meetings. In addition, we typically have 10 events during the same
time frame and expect attendance at a minimum of half of these
events.

All board members must also be members of CSCMP.

Board members will be required to pay the member price for any
events attended, although they are often offered discounts for the
larger events like the Annual Global Conference (AGC) or other
products/services by HQ as a thank you for their volunteer service to
the organization.
What you can expect from us
There are numerous benefits you can expect by being an active participant of
the board. Some of these include: Personal leadership development, small
business marketing, promotion and organizational skills, exposure to local
leaders of our profession, networking, supply chain education, and CSCMP
discounts on membership, local and global events. All board members grow
both personally and professionally from the experience and find the opportunity
rewarding and fulfilling.

2015-2016 Goals and Objectives
Our roundtable has been very successful the last years by focusing on several
key objectives, namely;


Increasing membership of our roundtable across all demographics
(students, young professionals, and mature professionals).
Attracting and retaining board member talent who will bring us to the
next level.


Producing high quality events that attract all levels of supply chain
professionals while generating agreed upon net revenue.
Achieving the financial goals of the organization without sacrificing
quality or our values
In addition to a continued focus on above goals, in 2015-2016 we will add the
following overarching goal:

Improving on the diversity of supply chain functional areas represented
within board membership, regular membership, event programming and
sponsorship, supporting the overall aim for CSCMP to be the premier
global supply chain organization with a focus on the end-to-end supply
chain (procurement, demand planning, manufacturing, etc.)
The Process
Once you respond to the questions below and submit these to the President,
you will interview with the President and the Membership Chair. Together you
will decide on an area you can contribute to that best fits you and the current
needs of the organization. This will allow you to learn more about the
organization and allow us to see you in action. At the end of your third board
meeting we will have a discussion to see if both you and the organization are
benefiting from the relationship, and hopefully, formally welcome you to the
Roundtable Board.
Please complete the questions below and submit your responses to the person
who gave you this form:
Are you able to fulfill the expectations outlined above?
How did you hear about CSCMP?
Why did you become a member, and how has membership benefited you, and
your employer(s)?

membership throughout your career?
How do you hope to grow both personally and professionally from a leadership
role on the CSCMP Board of Directors? Are there any particular areas of
interest or aspirations you have with respect to the board?
What talents or other attributes would lead you to believe that you would be an
outstanding member of the Board and to support our overall
goals/objectives for the years to come?
