Message from the President

It would be an understatement to say the past few years have been unprecedented and challenging for many businesses, organizations, and individuals.  While ISM—EVA will continue to monitor local health requirements, we are excited to begin in-person meetings and events again in the coming year.   

Along with our traditional events you have come to expect, such as our Economic Forecast for the Hampton Roads area, and our Port Supply Chain updates, we are excited to launch more diverse events as we look to expand membership within our profession and throughout our area.  Beyond in-person events, ISM—EVA is also partnering with ISM—New Jersey, Inc. to offer an expanded calendar of webinars and CEH opportunitites (most are a member benefit!).  

From everyone on our outstanding Board of Directors, we would like to welcome you to ISM—EVA, and we cannot wait to show you the wonderful benefits of your continued support and membership, for many years to come.

James (L.J.) Ferguson, CPSM
