On behalf of the board of directors of the Dallas Fort Worth Roundtable of the CSCMP, welcome to our website. We are proud to be one of the oldest and largest Roundtables in the southwestern United States. Our Roundtable represents a cross section of people from business, government and academia who come together to share knowledge of the most recent developments in supply chain, logistics, and transportation.
The Dallas Fort Worth metroplex has enormous advantages for people interested in our profession. We are the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States, having increased our population since the 2000 census almost 25%. We are a major hub for air, rail and road transportation: regionally, nationally and cross-border. We continue to draw the headquarters of corporations away from other areas of the United States; these corporations relocate to North Texas because of the area’s economic vibrancy and increasing diversity and sophistication.
We are the only metropolitan area to have the headquarters of two major passenger airlines and a major railroad; while those “headline” companies are important, the metroplex also hosts thousands of smaller businesses directly related to the supply chains of other businesses – domestic and international, large and small. DFW’s importance as a financial, health care and technology center adds to the richness of the region and its attractiveness to the people who live and work here and to the businesses that call it home.
We hope that you find the website useful in your desire to increase your knowledge about the world of supply chain or to network with other individuals who share similar interests. I personally encourage you to attend our meetings to interact with the highly talented and accomplished people who make up our roundtable and also to become involved with our group and the important work that it undertakes.
Again, welcome and if you have any questions about the roundtable, please contact me via e-mail.
