Join us on every Third Wednesday of the month for the CMIR BOOK CLUB

Mark your calendars for the third Wednesday of the month from 9:30 – 10:30 AM, Central. The Education Committee has formed a book club for the Investment Recovery Handbook, Adding Value to the Supply Chain. The purpose? To hear from you—the subject matter experts on what content needs to be added, removed, enhanced, or updated. 

Each month we will review a single chapter (see below.) Feel free to join during the months when the topic in your area of expertise is discussed. We ask that you review the chapter being discussed before the meeting and have your feedback ready to share.

For more information, please contact Jane Male at the Association office: (816) 561-5323.
