An Invitation…
I’ve been in the logistics industry in one way or
the other ever since those college years when I
“licked labels and kicked boxes.” Like you, I know
the complexity and the dynamics of working in
this field. That’s why I also know you NEED to
attend the WERC Conference. This is the chance
for you to re-energize yourself, reconnect with other practitioners,
learn about trends and new ideas and generally immerse yourself
in the business of logistics for four intense days. With your
participation, we intend to ramp up the energy level, the
networking opportunities, the content value and the camaraderie
in Orlando.
I look forward to seeing you there.

The entire conference and WIRE event are
held at the Walt Disney World Swan and
Dolphin Resort, Lake Buena Vista, FL

What Can We Do to Make It Better?
Two years ago, WERC had the privilege of having Randy Lewis on
our main stage at Conference 2008. Telling his story of putting the
“able” into “disabled” inspired and moved our
audience and was a powerful message about
the heart of our industry and how small changes
can lead to BIG results.
This year, Randy will be with us again to
update us on the Walgreens initiative to
hire people with disabilities. “We’d be glad
to share what we’ve learned from the human
resources side with anybody. A lot of people have taught us a lot
of things, and we’ll be glad to share what we learned. I’m very
interested in talking to my peers at the WERC Conference who want
to do something like this. It’s not as hard as they think, and it makes
a big difference.“
