Volunteer with us
APICS Ottawa Chapter is a volunteer-run organization and we have continued to grow thanks to the energy and commitment of our enterprising members.
We are always looking for resourceful and energetic individuals. If you're looking to upgrade your skills, showcase your talent or learn more about a career in supply chain management, come and get involved. Even if you're not in the supply chain industry, we can pair our supply chain experience with your functional expertise. We offer great opportunities to expand your network, develop your professional skills and give back to the community.
