WHAT IS ASCM ROCHESTER?

The ASCM Rochester Chapter is the premier professional body for supply chain and operations management in the Greater Rochester area.

WHY CONNECT WITH THE PROFESSIONAL CHAPTER?

• Real-World Networking: Break out of the "student bubble" and meet hiring managers, recruiters, and supply chain leaders from top Rochester companies.

• Professional Development & Dinner Meetings: Attend monthly events featuring expert guest speakers, followed by dinner and networking. It’s a low-pressure way to learn about current industry trends while practicing your professional soft skills.

• ASCM Certification Pathways: Get a head start on industry-standard certifications like CPIM, CSCP, or CLTD. The professional chapter often offers local prep courses and mentorship that can make you more marketable before you even graduate.

• Exclusive Plant Tours: See supply chain in action. The chapter organizes "behind-the-scenes" tours of local manufacturing and distribution facilities that aren't usually open to the public.

• Mentorship Opportunities: Connect with professionals who can provide career advice, resume critiques, and insights into the local job market.

• Job Board Access: Gain visibility into local job and internship openings that are often shared within the professional network before they hit LinkedIn or Indeed.
