Members of the APICS Houston and other
general members are planning for the 2014
APICS International Conference in New
Orleans on Sunday, October 19 through
Tuesday, October 21.. The keynote speakers
include Mike Walsh, CEO of Tomorrow and
author of Futuretainmenet, and Peter Thum,
Founder of Ethos Water and Founder and
CEO of Fonderie 47.
Mike Walsh is globally renowned as an expert on future trends,
innovation, business growth and organizational transformation.
He takes an anthropological approach to the future, focusing on
emerging technologies and disruptive shifts in human behavior
and then translates these into pragmatic plans for better
business productivity.
Peter Thum transformed his desire to get clean water to families
in third-world countries into a successful social venture that
changed an industry, generated millions of dollars and improved
the lives of thousands. Currently, Thum is CEO and cofounder of
Fonderie 47, an organization that manufactures jewelry from
assault rifles sourced in war zones. To date, the company has
created jewelry from more than 34,000 rifles.
In addition, many of the APICS Houston Board of Directors will
attend the Terra Grande District meeting on Friday, October 17
and the Volunteer Workshop on Saturday, October 18. We hope
to see lots of APICS Houston members at the event.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS
On Thursday, September 18, Troy E. Nehls will present “A view of
The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office and their ‘Business’
Management Philosophy”. The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office
has structured a management team philosophy to include a
more business minded approach in their day to day operations.
Several new programs include partnering with the United States
Marshall’s Office in housing federal prisoners in the Fort Bend
County Detention facility. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office has
also reached out to the private sector seeking ways to reduce
operating costs while improving efficiency.
The Sheriff’s Office annual budget exceeds $60M dollars
employing over 750 personnel. According to Sheriff Nehls, “the
taxpayers of Fort Bend County expect their elected leaders to
properly manage their department budgets with fiscal
responsibility and transparency.” This presentation will take a
close look into how the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office
manages its personnel and resources. A top priority for Sheriff
Nehls is to improve the “dismal” crime solve rates in Fort Bend
County. He will share his approach and strategy on how crime
solved rates have drastically improved in Fort Bend County all
while reducing overtime. Sheriff Nehls will also discuss crime
trends within Fort Bend County and answer questions from the
audience.
In August, Niels Aalund presented “The Best Chapter for the
Texas Maritime Industry is Yet to Come”. The presentation will
share reasons why the Texas maritime industry has experienced
tremendous growth in all sectors. Neil discussed why Houston is
seen by many as the emerging center of influence for the
maritime industry in the Americas. He shared the positive market
place developments and industry trends that position the
Houston Ship Channel and the Texas for continued growth
perhaps at growth levels never seen before. This growth leads
many to believe “The best chapter for the Texas Maritime
Industry is yet to come”.
Highlights of his presentation were the exciting plans for the
Houston Maritime Museum. The Houston Maritime Museum
plans to raise $15 million to build a new museum at the Port of
Houston’s Turning Basin. The museum will be located next to the
port’s Houston ship channel tour vessel the M/V Sam Houston.
Plus, inside the museum will be a model of the Houston ship
channel which will be one of the many prime museum
attractions.
A Texas nonprofit corporation, West Gulf Maritime Association
was organized in early 1968 to bring together steamship owners,
operators, agents and stevedoring and terminal companies
located in ports from Brownsville, Texas to Lake Charles,
Louisiana. Operating through its member committees, the
Association negotiates and administers various labor
agreements with the International Longshoreman’s Association
in West Gulf ports and provides a forum for information
exchange between member companies concerning a wide
variety of industry issues and concerns.
PLANT TOURS
My message went to press before the September 8th Goodman
Manufacturing, Ltd. tour. However before the tour took place so
next month the tour will be featured.

website at www.apics-houston.org or contact Catherine Brown
APICS CLASSES
Our fall classes are starting and some classes are still open for
registration. Registrations are being accepted for our winter
classes as well. Demand for our CPIM classes has resulted and a
second, parallel Basics of Supply Chain class and could result in
parallel classes throughout the curriculum. Again, if you have
interest in registering for our classes, I highly suggest planning
ahead and registering early to ensure class availability.
Unfortunately, we continue to have to decline registrations when
our classes are full.
Our new class locations at Powell Industries and Houston Food
Bank locations are improving our educational reach to the
greater Houston community. To satisfy our customer needs, we
continue to add more locations and classes and are targeting
The Woodlands and Sugar Land for expansion.

Certification page in this newsletter or visit our website at

When people say, "my team," they mean it.
In the top-down world of industrial marketing, the San Francisco
49ers say, "we built this team, buy a ticket if you want to come."
Then, a few years later, it broadened to, "you should buy a jersey
so you can be part of it."
In the sideways, modern world of peer-to-peer connection, peo-ple say, "my team has this player, that player and this defense."
It belongs to them, because they built it. Everyone has their own
team.
In neither case is the fan on the field, getting concussed or mak-
ing the big decisions. It doesn't matter. What matters is that our
feeling of ownership, of us-ness, is shifting. We want celebrities
and brands and teams that do more than merely put on a show. In addition to the show, people want to believe that they own
part of it.

On July 7, APICS launched certification verification, an online service available at apics.org/verification.
This new service elevates APICS certification programs and helps protect the credentials of all APICS designees.
Certification verification provides prospective employers and other stakeholders with a simple, easy way to verify an individ-
ual’s certification status. The search results will indicate whether an individual’s CPIM, CFPIM, CIRM or CSCP certification
status is active, suspended or expired.
A minimum of the first three letters of an individual’s last name is required for all searches. Users can then narrow their
search by location, type of certification and APICS ID. The results include the last name, first name, state, country and certi-
fication status of any individuals who have earned an APICS CPIM or CSCP designation. Designees with more than one cer-
tification appear in separate entries.
We are pleased to launch APICS certification verification as one of several ongoing enhancements to our certification pro-
grams. For more information, visit the certification FAQs page
