2014 J. Shipman Gold Medal Award Recipient ― Paul Novak, CPSM, C.P.M., A.P.P., MCIPS
Winners of the ISM® Annual Awards Announced at the ISM2014 in Las Vegas
J. Shipman Gold Medal Award On May 6, 2014, longtime Institute for Supply Management (ISM
®) executive and former ISM CEO Paul Novak,
CPSM, C.P.M., A.P.P., MCIPS, was named the 2014 J. Shipman Gold Medal Award recipient.
The J. Shipman Gold Medal Award was created by the Purchasing Management Association of New York in
1931, and is awarded annually to an individual who has performed distinguished service for the cause and
advancement of the supply management profession. Novak received the Shipman Award at ISM2014 in Las
Vegas during a special awards luncheon on May 6, 2014.
As CEO from 1997 until he retired in 2012, Novak
oversaw all ISM (formerly the National Association of
Purchasing Management) day-to-day operations. He began
his career there in 1988 as director of membership.
Novak has been a noted national and global speaker and a
proponent of the value of supply management, speaking to
hundreds of audiences on the topic, and authoring
countless articles that have appeared in trade and business
publications. During his tenure with ISM, he spoke to
MBA and advanced-degree classes at universities around
the world about the association, motivating students to
consider a career in supply management and procurement.
Novak also served as president and board member of the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply
Management (IFPSM).
“To say that Paul was a leader in his profession is an understatement. He was instrumental in raising the
professionalism of the purchasing and supply management field both domestically and internationally. Paul
helped establish global standards and a global standards board for professional certification, raising the service
level in countries where standards were low. Seven countries have been approved for international certification
using the ISM guidelines he created,” says Craig Johnson, CEO of Harry & David, a past ISM Board Member
who has been involved with many ISM committees over the years.
Novak also broadened the reach of the profession into other countries, helping to establish 12 non-U.S. affiliates
of ISM and 28 partnership countries for certification programs.
“It's quite an honor because I have known the last 20-plus winners in my role, and to be in the same category of
those recipients is humbling,” Novak says.
In addition, Novak spent his career as a strong advocate and leader in helping to bring diversity and inclusion into
the profession and ISM. He helped establish the Black Executive's Forum and worked with others in ISM and the
profession to increase active participation by women, Hispanics and other minorities.
The profession has evolved over the years, Novak notes, and the responsibilities are much greater now than ever
before.
“The role of supply chain and procurement has become much more strategic in nature,” Novak says. “It's global
in scope and more demanding and complex. You can’t make any decisions in a vacuum and as a professional you
need to know your supply base. So the CEO needs to be in touch with the chief procurement officer regularly. We
have seen some major mistakes from companies where that communication wasn't present.”

As for young professionals, Novak says they need to understand their role and their business to succeed in the
industry.
“You need to realize how your position helps the company make a profit and to truly know your business,” he
says. “There is a lot of opportunity for young professionals that have success.”
Novak earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Michigan State University, and holds a
Harvard Business School faculty certificate in not-for-profit management. He served on executive advisory
boards for the supply chain management programs at both Michigan State and the University of San Diego. On a
personal level, Novak was a 16-year member of Rotary International and the first male member of the Saginaw
County Women’s Shelter board of directors. Today he remains on the board of the supply chain management
committee with the World Trade Organization.
Persons of the Year, Affiliate Excellence and Groups/Forums Excellence Awards
On May 7, 2014, ISM announced the 2013 award recipients of the Persons of the Year Award, the Affiliate
Excellence Award and the Groups/Forums Excellence Award at the awards breakfast during ISM2014 in Las
Vegas.
Persons of the Year Award
ISM’s Persons of the Year Awards recognizes excellence in education/learning, innovation/creativity, leadership,
marketing/communicating and volunteerism. ISM recognized five individuals for their efforts during 2013:
Education/Learning Person of the Year: Dale L.
Bartholomew, CPSM, C.P.M., ISM—Northern
Virginia, Inc., and ISM—Cooperative Utilities, Inc. Bartholomew is a member of and active in two
affiliates and is the first to volunteer for whatever
needs to be done to support ISM—Northern Virginia
and ISM—Cooperative Utilities. He is known for his
“follow up and follow through” approach in all aspects
of education, including organizing all aspects of
ISM—Northern Virginia’s educational programs,
serving as a Certified Professional in Supply
Management® (CPSM
®) trainer and working with
students. “I am honored and grateful to have received
the Education/ Learning Person of the Year Award,”
he says. “The award and serving two ISM affiliates
were meaningful and gratifying experiences.” His
nominators label Bartholomew as an active advocate
of ISM and a true supporter of the organization and
its goals.
Innovation/Creativity Person of the Year: Steven R. Bouchard, ISM—Connecticut, Inc. Eager to deliver tools to the new supply management practitioners, Bouchard promotes the affiliate’s
Emerging Professional Group (EPG) activities through LinkedIn, including EPG-specific web seminars. He
has forged new relationships with universities and other local professional organizations and conducted value-
stream mapping on current and future membership marketing activities. “Organizations now realize that the
success of their products depend heavily on a robust supply chain. As a result, professionals in the supply
management field are held accountable to provide value through innovative and creative approaches to
strategic sourcing,” says Bouchard. “As leaders in the field, we must also develop new programs to ensure the
next generation of supply management leaders have the skills and training to be successful.”

Leadership Person of the Year: Michelle Ochweri, ISM—Columbia Basin, Inc. Under Ochweri’s leadership, her affiliate has held summer planning meetings for three years in a row,
resulting in an affiliate board action-item list that is monitored and updated monthly. She is an outreach
expert, resulting in joint cooperative events, and has led her team to revise their affiliate bylaws to simplify
and streamline management. She has overseen the change in monthly program format and venue, which has
increased program attendance by 50 percent and has implemented an action to call each affiliate member at
least once per year to discuss affiliate goals and performance improvements. Ochweri describes her
experience best: “Being recognized as the Leadership Person of the Year is a humbling experience, one that I
never anticipated. My involvement with ISM and ISM—Columbia Basin has always been an opportunity to
give back to a profession that I love. We all know leading people can be both challenging and rewarding, but
the reward of seeing people grow and become strong professionals in our profession makes everything
worthwhile.”
Marketing/Communicating Person of the Year: Gail D. Kelley, CPSM, C.P.M., ISM—Western
Washington, Inc. Kelley meets with local community supply managers to promote ISM and ISM—Western Washington
membership to decision-makers. She also promotes the ISM Corporate Program to local companies. She
participates in university career fairs, promoting scholarship and other opportunities for students offered by
ISM—WW. Kelley also uses social media to effectively market her affiliate and its activities. She
supplements this with email messages and good old-fashioned hardcopies by mail. She works tirelessly to
increase membership. For example, she geographically targeted potential members using LinkedIn and also
used LinkedIn to targeting companies without ISM representation. Kelley says, “Volunteering with my local
ISM affiliate has been an enriching experience. ISM is a community of professionals focused on the
education and advancement of its members. This is the best opportunity available to be exposed to the
practices and experiences of the very best supply chain organizations and professionals worldwide. It is my
honor to be a member.” As a past affiliate president, she also serves as mentor and adviser to new members of
the affiliate’s board.
Volunteer Person of the Year: Martin G. Rutkovitz, ISM—St. Louis, Inc. Rutkovitz’s nomination was a cooperative effort by his current affiliate, ISM—St. Louis, the ISM
Indirect/Services Group and the ISM2014 Host Service Committee, of which he currently serves as chair. For
20-plus years, Rutkovitz has volunteered at various levels of the ISM organization. He has served in
numerous positions at both his current affiliate, ISM—St. Louis, and his previous affiliate, ISM—Central
Florida, Inc. He has been an ISM Conference volunteer for 20-plus years, too, and served on the ISM
Conference Leadership Committee from 2007 to2012, was general Conference chair in 2008, has served on
the ISM Host Service Committee since 2009, serves as membership chair and marketing co-chair of the ISM
Indirect/Services Group, and has participated in and presented for the ISM Leadership Training Workshops/
Programs. Rutkovitz describes his experience: “Accepting this award brought to mind the group of colleagues
and peers I have had the good fortune to work alongside year after year. Many have become close, lifelong
friends, and we all agree that volunteering improves ourselves, our profession and ISM. This award honors
each and every one of them, as well, for without their friendship, counsel and guidance, I wouldn’t be the
person I am today.” To quote one of his nominators, “Marty wears the ISM logo on his chest like Superman
wears his shield.”
Affiliate Excellence Award
ISM—Louisville, Inc. Earns Top Distinction — 2013 Affiliate of the Year Award
Affiliate Excellence Awards recognize ISM affiliates that demonstrate an awareness and distinction in their
professional operations, educational offerings and ability to recruit, train and retain members, while at the same
time communicating the value and prestige of ISM and the supply management profession. The affiliate selected
for the Affiliate of the Year Award has surpassed the designated core competency requirements, including but not
limited to membership growth, professional development opportunities and valuable affiliate membership
meetings. ISM is pleased to announce that ISM—Louisville, Inc., received the highest honor with the 2013
Affiliate of the Year.

2013 Affiliate of the Year Award – ISM―Louisville, Inc.
2013 Affiliate Excellence Award Recipients
“In the commonwealth of Kentucky, the
Louisville affiliate was one of the final four
purchasing management associations left in
ISM in 2012. Normally in the commonwealth,
being one of the ‘Final Four’ is a good thing,
but in this case it wasn’t beneficial to our
organization. Our membership approved a
name change in 2012 that started a blistering
pace of change and innovation in the affiliate.
Creative thinking led to further changes, and
by leveraging the momentum of this name
change, we opened our hearts and our minds to
logistics and haven’t looked back. We are
thankful for the recognition bestowed upon our
affiliate by ISM with this distinguished award,
and we look forward to defending our selection in the upcoming year," says Doug Kolpak, immediate past
president of ISM—Louisville. "We exist to educate, develop and provide opportunities for networking and
certification assistance to the supply chain management professional in the greater Louisville metro area.”
President Angela K Jorgensen says, “Our primary focus for 2013 was to become member-centric in our planning
and implementation of programs, and we will continue this mantra in 2014. We make every attempt to keep a
pulse of what our members need and make the most of the networking and educational opportunities we are able
to provide. In the Louisville area, we have a great family of members and the entire board is dedicated to
supporting their professional development needs. We are extremely honored by the Affiliate of the Year award
from ISM, and we strive to continue to be the best affiliate our members deserve.”
Each ISM affiliate, regardless of size, has the opportunity to achieve affiliate excellence recognition by meeting
each of the core competency requirements. Thirteen affiliates met the level of excellence for 2013. They are:
• ISM—Arizona, Inc.
• ISM—Atlanta, Inc.

Jersey Forum is to support our member affiliates in their efforts to achieve their strategic goals and plans and to
facilitate communication amongst and between the affiliates and ISM. The Forum holds an annual educational
conference, which is planned and executed by our board of directors. All of our Board members are volunteers
and I am very proud to be involved with this great group who has a deep passion for the supply management
profession and their willingness to share their time and talents. We are extremely honored to be recognized for
this prestigious ISM Group or Forum of the Year award."

2014 Institute for Supply
Management® – Michigan State University Awards for
Excellence in Supply Management
The 2014 winners of the 8th Annual Institute for Supply
Management® – Michigan State University Awards for Excellence in
Supply Management were honored in Las Vegas during ISM2014.
Representatives from the winning organizations detailed their
projects in sessions on Tuesday, May 6, 2014, and Wednesday, May
7, 2014. The winners are:
Clorox Company | Process category
Clorox developed an innovation sourcing management group in
2010 that uses processes and tools for effective and efficient
7
supplier partnering. What began as a pilot group evolved into a
driver of innovation by leveraging collective contracting and
supplier management skills to broaden those agreements the
group manages. This ability to create seamless connections
allowed this internal group to develop new agreement templates
and accelerated contracts.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company | People category
Goodyear established a Direct Materials Optimization (DMO)
project, training employees to achieve ongoing savings and stay
ahead of competition. To date, the teams working on the DMO
project have delivered more than US$20 million in direct
material savings and expect to deliver further savings from
ongoing projects in the near future.
Intel Corporation | Process category
Once Intel determined its internal customers would benefit
financially and operationally from an intuitive process to speed
up ordering and fulfillment, the procurement department
developed an online fulfillment process that focused less on
transactions and more on customer value, helping to uncover
millions of dollars in spend save each year.
“Each year we have the difficult task of selecting award winners
from a large group of national and global organizations that are
making important, measurable positive change in their procurement
and supply chain operations,” said Beverly J. Gaskin, CPSM, who
chairs the ISM Awards for Excellence Oversight Committee. “We
are happy to share just a few of these innovative stories and examples
and hope that other organizations will benefit.”

ISM―Northern Virginia, Inc. Spreading the Good News by Social Media
When ISM—Northern Virginia, Inc. (ISM―NVA) received two prestigious
awards, Affiliate Excellence and Education Person of the Year, at ISM2014 in

picture taken at the ceremony within minutes of the award, via PRWeb and via
emails to their local newspapers and professional information channels through

“Our younger members, especially our student members,
really actively respond to the communications via social
media,” explains Irene Marnell, ISM—NVA president.
“We really try to use all the tools we can to communicate
and engage our members, especially since we are such a
young organization. It just so happened that ISM―NVA
members Aaron Poh (Booz Allen Hamilton) and Sarah
Zhu (National Rural Electric Cooperative Association)
had just presented to the affiliate leaders at the ISM
Affiliate Leadership Training Program the weekend
before ISM2014 explaining the importance of social
media for affiliates and how to use it.”
As Poh explains, “If a Millennial could make their cellphones part of our body,
we would. Over half of the Millennials say that they would rather give up their
sense of smell than give up their technology.”
ISM—NVA former president and current trustee Ted Carroll (Hilton) adds,
“Aaron and Sarah are two very key members in our affiliate and both are
Millennials. It is important to communicate to that generation in a way that is
meaningful to them. They are our future.”
So how successful were their efforts? As of May 15, 2014, the press release had picked up 49,766 impressions
and 936 reads. Comments on their Tweet came in immediately and it was immediately re-Tweeted. Marnell’s
LinkedIn post to her 493 contacts yielded eight immediate “likes,” and her Facebook post reached 145 friends
with 25 “likes” right away. Talk about an easy way to share good news!
Are You Looking for an Inexpensive Way to Market Your Affiliate? With the use of social media and smartphones, it’s easier
to connect with people than ever before. But there’s one
item technology hasn’t replaced the business card.
Business cards have been in existence for centuries, and
their use today is as strong as ever due to their benefits:
Convenience Business cards 3.5 inches by 2 inches fit inside your
wallet, pocket or purse for easy access. They are also small
enough to hand out, tack on a bulletin board and enclose in
a letter.
Networking Business cards are also great item to use when networking
with people. The person will have your contact
information, the name of your affiliate, your affiliate’s
website address and a list of membership benefits.
Marketing/Promotional Tool
Handing out business cards is a great way to advertise your

affiliate. As such, they should represent your affiliate in both words and design. A well-designed card is one that
the recipient wants to hang onto and one that stands out in the crowd. As shown in the sample business card, you
could have your affiliate logo, list of membership benefits and a link to your website for more detailed
information on the front. As a reminder, be sure to follow ISM’s Logo Use Guidelines when using your affiliate’s
logo. On the back, you can provide your name, phone number and email address.
Branding and Creditability When you use your ISM affiliate logo many people will recognize that you are affiliated with the Institute for
Supply Management®. Business cards can also represent trustworthiness, honesty and reliability because your
name and contact information is on the card.
Low Cost When you compare the cost of printing brochures and other promotional materials, the cost for business cards are
typically less. One way to help cut cost is to use your black or blue affiliate logo, rather than the blue and red
logo. Various websites offer free design templates as well as inexpensive choices for paper and finishing touches.
If you have any tools or ideas that has helped increase or retain your membership, please contact Linda Thomas at
[email protected]. This is a great opportunity for your affiliate to be featured in NewsLine.
