A full room of supply chain leaders in Tacoma.
Tacoma draws regional and western-states associations that want Puget Sound without Seattle prices. Chris was brought in to run The Leadership Exchange, an interactive workshop where leaders trade real situations with each other, for a materials management audience with a wide range of experience levels.
WSHMMA Conference
The Leadership Exchange interactive workshop for healthcare supply chain, materials management and operations professionals.
Interactive by Design
Workshops built so people talk to each other, not just listen, which is what an operations audience asks for.
Operator, Not Consultant
Still running national healthcare staffing companies and making the hiring and retention calls he speaks about.
“Chris brought exactly the kind of energy and engagement we wanted for our WSHMMA Annual Conference.”
