The Fifth Annual Charles K. "Chuck" Nelson Student Paper Contest 2012

For many years APICS has sponsored the Fogarty Student Paper Contest through the Education and Research Foundation. In 2008 the E&R Foundation and APICS discontinued the program.

The Terra Grande District (Region VI) and the Heartland District (Region V) have worked together to sponsor The Charles K. “Chuck” Nelson Student Paper Contest District competition. As many of you know, Chuck Nelson was a great leader in APICS and especially in the Terra Grande District prior to his passing away in 2007.

Check out the rules, prizes and details of the contest by clicking here:

The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2012.

Prizes of $300 and $500 will be awarded for first and second place for both Undergraduate and Graduate papers.

Papers should be submitted to Roger Harris at email rharris@msstech.com no later than April 15, 2012
