Then the balance of the time on “Vendor Managed Inventory. David graduated from

The Oregon Mid-Valley Purchasing &
Supply Management Association (OMV) is extremely pleased to announce that we

great meeting space as well as very nice (discounted to $104 + tx/night)
suites for our attendees. The dates for our conference will be Monday,
October 24th, through Wednesday, October 26th, and the Conference focus will
be on providing educational programs which will "Add Value" to each
attendees' professional knowledge and personal business skills, thus allowing
each attendee the ability to enhance their own company’s profits. This Conference has been the major
region-wide educational event for purchasing and supply management
professionals in the Pacific Northwest for many years and our affiliate is
proud to have the opportunity to host this great educational event this
year. The educational learning opportunities will be many (with ~ 30
program choices) and the opportunity to network with other colleagues from
the other areas of this region will be fantastic. The Conference
Education Committee is currently in the process of lining up some excellent
speakers and topics for this conference including three internationally
recognized keynote speakers: • Lee
Buddress, Ph.D., C.P.M., Director of the Supply and Logistics Management
undergraduate degree program at Portland State University, and long time
presenter of continuing education programs for our practitioner
professionals. • Jerry

year. There will be many other excellent and knowledgeable speakers
from the local colleges and universities, along with experienced
practitioner-presenters from the distribution, healthcare, manufacturing and
service industries, as well as from the public sector, and business
consultants. OMV is especially proud that we can provide
this additional learning opportunity for everyone working in or with our
profession in this region.....all of this for a $325 Conference registration

discount….otherwise the regular member price will be $350). It should
be noted that many other area professional educational association members

Following – independent news article for
your info. Not associated with NAPM-CB Escaping
the Boss From Hell: Three Steps to a Better Career Nearly everyone has suffered this at least once in his
career—the boss who makes each workday a living terror. You can find the Boss
from Hell in any industry or occupation. Even the best companies slip up from
time to time, allowing bullies to rise through the employment food chain to
management. If a national survey were taken to find out the reasons
people change jobs, by far the number one reason for job dissatisfaction
would be bad management. As a career coach, surprisingly, I’ve found that
increased earning potential usually ranks far below the desire to leave a
mean, unreasonable boss. If you wake up each day dreading the next eight to
ten hours, your problem might be your supervisor. You’re working for the Boss From Hell if:
Fear and intimidation never motivate employees to excel.
Tyrannical supervisors create an atmosphere of distrust and isolation. If you
work for someone like this, your confidence is probably not what it used to
be. In fact, you are probably second-guessing your decisions on the job
constantly. As long as you work for management that rules by fear, you’ll
never reach your career and earning potential. There are three steps to escape the Boss From Hell and
move on to a happier, healthier work place.
Fear in the workplace tends to leave people thinking they
have no better options than to stick it out. Such thinking is a result of
loss of confidence and the inability to see beyond the present distress. One
way to gain perspective and see new options is to spend some time browsing
job postings. The right direction might be within another department or
division of your current employer, but away from your current boss. Or it
might be somewhere else altogether. If you keep an open mind, you’ll see that
there are many options for you outside of your current job. One way to get the most out of this career reconnaissance
is to search for job postings based on skills rather than job titles. Do a
job-skills self-analysis to identify the tasks and activities you enjoy
performing on your job. Use those skills as your search terms at online job
boards. You may be surprised to see that you qualify for positions you had
not thought of before. 2. Take inventory of your career
accomplishments and contributions. In order to get moving toward a new position you’ll need
to regain your confidence. Think about, and then write down, situations of
where you:
As you think back on your accomplishments, you’ll begin to
realize the value you have added to your company. Remember, other employers
have similar problems to solve. They are looking for candidates who have
experience in handling difficult situations. The more specific the examples
of your accomplishments are, the more marketable you will be in the job
market. 3. Update your resume. Once you have your accomplishments listed, use them to
update your resume. Think of your resume as your initial marketing tool; it
should announce to potential employers your ability to help them reach their
bottom-line corporate goals. For example, your resume should appeal to
potential employers’ desire to increase efficiency, cut costs and improve
productivity. When employers see what you can do for them, they’re sure to be
impressed. Your resume should also have a clear career focus.
Updating your resume doesn’t mean simply adding your current work history to
your old resume format. Without a careful resume strategy, your resume will
begin to resemble an old house with too many tacked on additions. Make sure
your resume presents a cohesive, well-thought out, professional front. Additionally, if your career has taken several interesting
turns, you’ll want to adjust your resume toward your current focus. Take the
time to refocus your resume on your current job search. Highlight the items
from your career that are relevant, and minimize the things that are no
longer relevant. Once you have invested the time to gain perspective on
your career options, take inventory of your accomplishments, and update your
resume, you’ll be mentally and emotionally ready to seek other employment
opportunities, either within or outside your current company. You don’t have
to remain in an unhappy job. You do have choices. Take the steps to help
yourself—you’ll be glad you did! Deborah
