WELCOME TO ASCM 

Supply chain professionals learn and engage differently today. To better meet the changing needs of our members we have decided to adapt the ASCM North American chapter structure.   

These changes will enable ASCM and our partners to deliver superior experiences for members and customers that are aligned with our rapidly shifting business environment. As part of our new program, which begins January 1, 2021, members can choose to belong to ASCM Chapters and ASCM Forums.  

Build your capability, your network and your career by joining a local ASCM Chapter or Forum. ASCM’s outstanding volunteer partner community will enhance your member experience and professional development through local training, networking and events. 

What’s the difference between a Chapter and a Forum?

          ASCM Chapters provide local ASCM member engagement
          opportunitiies and APICS training including CPIM, CSCP, and
          CLTD certification review courses.   

          ASCM Forums are exclusively focused on providing member
          engagement activities. Forums refer APICS training needs to
          a local ASCM Chapter or directly to ASCM. 

We are committed to a seamless transition for our members and are excited about the new ways we can support supply chain professionals throughout their careers.
