June 3rd Breakfast Meeting, Damon Piatek

ISM Western New York Breakfast Meetings

 

Damon Piatek was our guest speaker at our June 3 Supply Chain Breakfast. Damon spent the past 20 years dealing with global trade issues every day while leading US operations for a large Toronto customs broker for which he set up new offices in Buffalo and Pittsburgh. In recent years, Damon established his own company focused on customs and logistics. He is one of a select group of licensed customs brokers - 11,000 in USA - who interpret ever changing federal import regulations on behalf of clients.

 

May 20th Breakfast Speaker - Mark Baxa

 

Those of you who didn't get to our last Supply Chain Breakfast session two weeks ago which featured guest speaker Mark Baxa, President of CSCMP, missed one of the best programs of the breakfast meetings. Baxa was spot on in leading a terrific discussion. Mark’s vast leadership experience spans sales, customer service, logistics, distribution, global trade & compliance, procurement, sustainability, supplier diversity, and supply chain strategy.
