ISM—Western Washington Educational Training Programs
We are dedicated to the education of our chapter members. We offer a minimum of 8 hours of free training each program year (September - May). For the 2020-2021 program year, 14 hours of free training were offered.
For each of the past two program years, we dedicated 8 hours of education towards preparation for the CPSM and CPSD exams. At the beginning of these education series, we educate members about the benefits of being certified. We also provide practical information such as what to expect during the testing process and tips for studying.
At this time, only virtual programs are being held. Live programs will resume when local restrictions are loosened. ISM—Western Washington will maintain its virtual education programs for those who are not able to attend live events.

ISM-Western Washington Supply Chain: Leveraging Cyber Threat Intelligence
This session will help supply management professionals understand and utilize cyber threat intelligence (CTI) in their procurement decisions. We will examine the post-COVID cyber threat landscape and explain why procurement professionals are increasingly targeted. Cohen will provide practical guidance on integrating CTI into supply chain operations and building cyber risk management frameworks, supported by real-world case studies like the Target breach, and will conclude with actionable steps for implementing cyber resilience measures in procurement processes.
