NPA President Nancy Pfeffer Joins Faculty of Global Logistics Specialist Program – October 2011
This year, NPA President Nancy Pfeffer was invited to join the faculty of the Global Logistics Specialist Professional Designation Program of the Center for International Trade and Transportation at California State University, Long Beach. Ms. Pfeffer was asked to teach the module on Greening the Supply Chain. This module gives GLS students the tools to understand the environmental impacts of the global materials economy. They use this and other knowledge gained in the program to develop a capstone project that incorporates “greening” strategies. Ms. Pfeffer taught the module for the first time in October 2011 and received very high student evaluations. She was supported by a guest speaker, Heather Tomley, Assistant Director of Environmental Planning for the Port of Long Beach, who spoke about the Port’s extensive efforts to reduce environmental impacts of its operations and those of its tenants. |
