“The Risk of Change”

James P. Tate III

Managing Director

Cogent Management Resources, LLC

Every business organization makes internal

Changes. These changes can include new business strategies, new product lines; procedural overhauls; new software programs

or the merging of new business units. The

success or failure of these changes is determined , to a large degree, by the acceptance or resistance of the personnel to

the change.

The goal of change management is to implement internal changes with a minimum

of fear and resistance; and to maximize the

complete successful implementation.

This program will outline the dangers of change resistance; how to measure the ability of an organization to change acceptance, how

to reduce, or manage, the level of change resistance in a business organization.

Apple Valley Chapter is Now

Part of Mid-Atlantic District

Society has moved Apple Valley Chapter to

Mid-Atlantic District that will support Virginia, DC, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

APICS has more than 230 local chapters in North Ameria, which are divided into 9 geographic Districts. Each District elects a District Director and a District Manager through a special nomination committee made up of chapter presidents within the District.

The District Director's primary function is to be a member of the APICS Board of Directors. As a member of the Board of Directors; the District Director provides recommendations and philosophical direction during the development of policies, procedures, and educational offerings to ensure they enhance the profession of operations management.

The District Manager has a volunteer District support staff to assist with the development and implementation of chapter management training and two-way communication between APICS corporate and the local chapter. These individuals serve on the District Manager Committee and provide support and guidance to enable chapters to meet the minimum standards in promoting the objectives of the Association.
