Biannual Meeting Hosts Members From Throughout The Region
The Midwest Schedulers
& Dispatchers Group held their biannual meeting on April 26th
at Wrigley Field, home to the Chicago Cubs baseball club. The
group, which formed back in 2000, boasted record-breaking
attendance figures nearing 75 people, with members coming from
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and
Missouri.
The event, sponsored by Air Routing International, started with
a networking hour complete with dinner and drinks held in the
private setting of the field’s Stadium Club. After
dinner and a few announcements, the group then headed-out to the
bleachers to watch the Chicago Cubs take the field against the
Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs ended-up losing, but the event
itself was a complete success.
"Gatherings like these are crucial to our profession, which
allow us to form friendships and give us the ability to call upon
each other for support and expertise when needed", noted Kandi
Spangler, the group’s Chairperson. The group meets twice
annually with a networking event held in the spring, and an
educational forum held during the fall. "This set-up seems to
really work for our membership," said Spangler. "It gives us a
chance to not only get together and build friendships, but we also
offer some truly valuable informational sessions that help us all
grow professionally."
The Group’s fall meeting is currently scheduled for
October in Waukegan, IL with Universal Weather and Aviation
presenting on International Customs and Handling
Procedures.
