Northeast Wisconsin Chapter
Our Northeast Wisconsin (NEWI) chapter serves a geographical area
from Marinette to DePere, WI. We hold monthly Professional Development
Meetings (PDMs) to provide the communities served with the opportunity
to hear local, regional and national speakers on current topics of
interest. The PDMs are also a great opportunity for networking. Our
chapter also supports the student APICS chapter of Northeast Wisconsin
Technical College.
