As we begin
an exciting new year, how did you do on your 2008 resolutions? Did you
follow through on your promise to start studying for ISM’s Certified
Professional in Supply Management certification? Are you interested in
studying for the CPSM certification? ISM created special courseware to
certify instructors to help us prepare for the new CPSM exams. We are proud
to offer review classes with enhanced study materials, diagnostic review
questions, answer rationalizations, case studies, a student Participant
Guide and Continuing Education Hours.
Register for
our new CPSM review courses, Modules 1-3, taught by Valerie Stueland, CPSM,
C.P.M., A.P.P. held at the Salt River Project Tempe facility. If you’re a
C.P.M. with qualifications and a current
certification or a Lifetime C.P.M., consider registering for the bridge

Modules 1, 2, and 3 and pay in advance to receive a discount. The bridge

How would you
like to win a trip to ISM's Annual International Supply Management
Conference & Educational Exhibit in Charlotte, NC and an iPod nano? ISM is
