Serve on the SCMS E-Board

(Serving on the SCMS E-Board is optional and not required for membership in SCMS.)
​

The SCMS executive board is refreshed at the end of each spring semester for a full year term beginning in the fall (newly selected SCMS officers officially assume their positions the day after the last day of classes.) All positions are up for selection; current executive board members must reapply and interview in order to serve on the board for the following academic year. Applications are sent out usually in the middle of the spring semester (late March/early to mid April,) with interviews scheduled shortly after for selected candidates. Final decisions are typically released in May. Executive board positions are not typically offered outside of this schedule.

General conditions for application to the SCMS executive board:

• Have officially declared Supply Chain Management as a major (SCM as a second/double major is encouraged)
• Be an active SCMS member in good standing per the membership standards outlined above
• Complete an application (emailed through our newsletter in the spring semester) and send the application and your resume to the email address provided in the position announcement by the deadline

​Requirements and/or conditions for application may change on an as-needed basis. Requirements will be included for all positions in position postings. Good luck!
