Late last year, Blasgen accepted the position of president and chief executive officer of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), the profession’s premier educational association. After 23 years as a practitioner, he says, it was high time for him to give back to the profession that has offered him so many opportunities.
