The CAPS Research Board of Trustees is responsible for determining overall policies and setting research direction. We greatly appreciate this Board’s sound advice and expertise in the purchasing and supply chain arena. All serve because of their commitment to CAPS Research and their desire to increase the body of knowledge.

The current Board is largely composed of the senior supply executive from our corporate sponsors, who serve three-year terms. Other members of the Board are from our two parent organizations, the W. P. Carey School of Business and the Institute for Supply Management.
