ISM-Rochester Membership Meeting: Leadership Workshop

Join us for our November Membership Meeting featuring Jack Ampuja, Executive Director of Center for Supply Chain Excellence at Niagara University.

Location: The Irishman Pub & Eatery, 5601 Main Street, Williamsville, NY

Are you a fulltime student? Contact ISM Member Services for special pricing. 480.752.6276 option eight.

Jack Ampuja’s personal experience in leadership includes supervising Teamsters and Longshoremen on the Boston waterfront in his early 20s. While there, he gained lessons he never dreamed of while he was a business major at a large university or during his 20 years in executive positions with three Fortune 500 firms.

In his last corporate role Jack served as Senior VP leading a $300 million division with 800 employees working at 25 locations around the country. Several years ago, Jack co-developed and presented a 12-hour workshop on leadership for all US managers of ID Logistics which is based in France but does business in 18 countries. That workshop was expanded to 16 hours at the request of Kuehne & Nagel – world’s #2 freight forwarder - with 80,000 employees in 100 countries – where Jack trained all of their US managers in leadership.

Recently Jack condensed his leadership material into a one-hour program he presented at the annual conference of the Council of Supply Chane Management Professionals. One of the attendees wrote that he learned more about leadership in Jack’s one hour workshop than in all his college courses together.
