How excited are you that spring is finally upon us? I know I’m very excited for warmer weather, flowers

blooming, and sun shining! As we exit the more challenging weather in NJ and look toward our future, I am struck by the other changes before me. For instance, my eldest is thinking/talking about college! How did that happen? My little guy will be leaving elemen-tary school; really? What does all of this have to do with ISM-NJ? Change, change is everywhere. It’s expected and yet we’re still surprised. I point this obvious notion out to you as we at ISM-NJ are faced with more changes coming from ISM Global. You’ll be hearing more about these changes in the coming weeks, but I wanted you to hear it from your board first. I’ll be address-ing these changes via a live webinar in the next month and will be sending a letter that will include the link to the recording. Your board is here to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to reach out to any one of us to support

you during these changes. As professionals, we are members of ISM-NJ to help build our network and continue learning through monthly breakfast/dinner meetings, webinars, and conferences managed and fa-cilitated by your board members. We celebrate the good in our profession and build one another up. We are roughly 472 strong. We need more of you to bring your co-workers to help us be stronger together. Our Membership Committee has networking events all over NJ looking to introduce ISM-NJ membership benefits to potential new members. We have an Emerging Pro-fessional Committee bringing network-ing to those new to the profession; and our Mentoring Committee supports in-troductions for Mentees to meet some-one to Mentor them and vice versa. These two committees, run by our team of volunteers, are working in support of our mission to make our membership stronger – together. Participate; go to a networking event or dinner meeting. Get involved; volunteer if you can spare a few hours. We do this for you, our members. But we need more of you to bring these ideas to fruition. What’s the hot topic you are burn-ing to learn more about? Is it some-thing in the digital world? Is AI key to your future? Are you in Supply Chain and have a desire to learn more about Global Trade, Tariffs and Free Trade Agreements? Or are you in procurement supporting Human Resources which makes you want to learn more about labor trends and new ways to identify candidates? Let us know what you want to hear more about; our Program Committee is out there looking for the right topics with the best speakers to bring to ISM-NJ. Our April breakfast meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3,
