The terms for all the officers start on July 1, 2009, and end on June 30, 2010.

With a focus on the Life Sciences, Energy, Green, and Emerging Technologies industries, these officers are well-poised to increase operations management education relevance in the SF Bay Area. With programs on Internships and Mentoring, the chapters will be very motivated to encourage company and student participation in their programs. The chapter activities have grown in a challenging market and it is remarkable and extraordinary because while other organization have seen their memberships decline and their programs whittle to nothing, this chapter remains fresh, viable, and relevant.
