. NOSH #20 Programs for 2009 – 2010 Updates:

o Wednesday June 9 was FINZ night. It was a great time – nice classy atmosphere (perfect for installing officers), and great food as well! It was one of the best attended annual bash’s ever! We did not have enough registrations until two days AFTER the deadline, but then the registrations poured in! Per OK at the last BOD mtg, Ken G reserved TUESDAY June 14, 2011 date at FINZ, for next year, before we lost it to someone else (as happened for 2010)…. . NOSH #20 Programs for 2010 – 2011 Updates: Yup – this is ALL filled in, except for Ken D / Jan L Plant Tour = WOW!

Program Co-director, China Project Center Dept. of Management (Business School) Worcester Polytechnic Institute! She is superbly qualified, and is a Professor, so she should relate well to the students. The Topic will be: Global Outsourcing 101 = Why China?

o Nov 9, 2010 = Chris Gray (He has now confirmed that he IS in!) – A Six Pack of Supply Chain Improvements”: Chris covers 6 things most companies can do with the software that they already own (or at least with minimal additional software). Specifically he covers:

. S&OP,

. Improved forecasting processes,

. Lean manufacturing,

. The “visual factory”,

. Improving record integrity, and

. Setting high standards with respect to performance. The emphasis is on improving business processes, not some new algorithm, or faddish technique, or fancy software.

NOSH #20 Programs for 2011 – 2012 Updates: Yup – we have started on this year as well!

o Sept 13, 2011 = Request is out to Earnest Hart, to do a “How to Travel for Business (or vacation), and Come Back Alive”. Check out his web site – very cool! www.earnest.com (if we could get this guy, it would be quite a coup – but I’d bet against it!!) o Nov 8, 20 11 = Jennifer Touma –The Martial Arts Approach to Business - Mental Toughness Training for Individuals & Business. This contact was made at the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting that Ken D suggested we go to = turned out to be a great idea = thanks Ken D! This presentation is about using the principles of martial arts, and applying them to business. Presentation is a story format, which draws the listener into the story, and helps them identify with each specific principle. Bio, Picture, and Topic Summary are in – given to Adrienne and Michele B, for that future newsletter & web page.

7. Newsletter Adrienne Galbraith

No news is due. We are off for the summer. The news for the next newsletter will be due in mid August. I will notify you all. I will also be working with Michael Jonis on a flyer for MCVV with E&R Workshop and PDM schedules in it. The June newsletter and email was on time, though the long weekend shortened the registration time to 4 days that week. I worked with a PR person (Kara Della Vecchia) from Microline Surgical on a press release regarding their selection as Company of the Year. Thanks everyone for the extra eyes/help formulating the write up. The recognition ceremonies, gifts, etc., all went beautifully this year. Frank did a great job. It was Michele's suggestion to open the gifts before presenting them, and to move to a more open corner of the room. This was very helpful. Nichols Grille in Woburn was a bust. They assured both Ken and I that the sound system could be controlled in that section, and it could not. It was also too open and narrow for our purposes for both BOD meetings and PDMs. Nice try, but no banana! So, thanks to a longstanding NESCON relationship with a hotel manager named Anton, who has since switched hotels, we've secured a very good contract with the Hilton (Forbes Road Woburn) for PDMs--$400 minimum, 2 meal choices @$20/head inclusive of service fees and tax, and no room fees. The only minor issue left is that the guaranteed count of guests due to the hotel five (5) days prior to the Event and our registration ends 4 days before the meeting. In this BEO game, you can always go up roughly 5% on the day of the event without penalty, but you can never go down. So, Bruce needs to call in his "guaranteed minimum" on the Thursday, the day before the Friday registration deadline. He can always adjust it up on Friday or Saturday, but never down. This is a little extra work, but worth it, considering the contract that we get out of it. Special thanks goes to Ken G for editing contract details which got the job done. It appears that they would be eager to take our BOD meetings, should we need to switch from Uno's. Either Paul or Ken needs to sign the updated Hilton contract dated 17-JUNE-10 (attached), and Paul needs to send a deposit ASAP (must be in their hands by June 28)! We are ending the year with $148 and change in permit #88 and also under budget (last time I checked). All my expenses are in, so whatever we end up at in June should stick. No sandbagging involved---I saved money where I had the time to do steps myself and reduce fees from AlphaGraphics. We got a refund last spring of 2 year's worth of permit fees, and this year someone named Mary says $0 for renewal, but you never know with the change in personnel. They have to do quite a bit of research every time I ask the question--what we do is not common practice. My budget for 2010-2011 should be the same, barring postage increases. I checked with the Post Office on what the inditia/permit will cost us this year - $0. They now say it is a one-time fee of $185 because we never presort and pay $.44. (FYI we don't mail enough in each zip code to qualify for a discount with presort anyway, so the only thing the permit does for us is save the time it takes to stick on stamps.) Once again, my email will transition to [email protected] very soon. I have been CCing every email to that account.

8. Website Frank Clapp Frank C. will work on the website to make the administration area more friendly and easier to access information. Michael J. is interested in email blasts for marketing purposes. Michael suggested a social networking expert would be a good addition to chapter resources. Michael J. will work on a marketing plan over the summer.
