Chapter Presidents and Chapter Board Members of the Heartland District.

We hope you and your board will be able to join us at the 6-Packed Conference and the Terra Grande District (TGD) Meeting. The 6-Packed Conference is on Thursday-Friday, March 1^st and 2^nd. The TGD Meeting is on Friday-Saturday, March 2^nd and 3^rd. 6-Packed is entirely a volunteer effort with net proceeds directly funding TGD programs. The 6-Packed website is www.6Packed.org

To encourage group attendance, we offer a pay for 4, and the 5th person is free promotion. Chapters can take advantage of this by coordinating enrollment with say 4 chapter members and then can send a board member for free.

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

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.
