CSCR®️ Announces 2019-2021 Advisory Board
The Center for Supply Chain Research®️ is pleased to welcome five new members to the 2019-2021 Advisory Board. According to Steve Tracey, the executive director of the Center, "We are so fortunate to partner with industry leaders willing to serve and advance the mission of one of the premier research centers in supply chain management. Our 30 year history and the legacy of our leadership, particularly Dr. John Coyle and Dr. William “Skip” Grenoble, speaks volumes of the expectations placed upon us as the current leadership of this wonderful organization."
Advisory board members serve a two-year commitment and act in a brand and sponsor development role for CSCR, as well as the Smeal College of Business and the University. Additionally, board members are active participants in CSCR programs and events, and a constant source of strategic planning and forward-thinking Center initiatives.
