Welcome Message from OECM’s President and CEO, John Sabo | Winter 2020

Welcome back to the OECM Connection, our new quarterly newsletter for OECM customers, suppliers and others interested in collaborative sourcing and OECM. As we mentioned in our first issue, we created the OECM Connection to provide you, our customers, suppliers and stakeholders, with a unique, centralized meeting place to learn more about how our organization is leading opportunities for greater collaboration amongst all our partners and across sectors. It’s also another way to share goals, celebrate achievements and put into writing the ways in which we are working to uphold our values. OECM’s Values are:

• Collaboration We are committed to working together to achieve common goals.
• Responsiveness We deliver on our promises in a timely way.
• Integrity We are open, honest, and accountable.
• Innovation We pursue creative solutions to foster an exceptional customer experience.
• Respect We listen to and value everyone’s ideas and opinions in a fair, open, and attentive way.

At OECM, we aim to have these values reflected in our corporate culture — in the positive environment we promote for our staff, the work we do in the community, and in the relationships we maintain with our customers and suppliers.

This is the second issue of our newsletter, and we once again invite you to let us know what you think. If there are ways that we can better meet your needs, articles that would resonate more deeply with you and your colleagues, or content you’d like to contribute or share, please don’t hesitate to let us know!

Thank you for your continued interest and support of OECM, and we look forward to collaborating with you soon.

Sincerely,

John A. Sabo B.Math; M.Ed; M.FAc; CPA,CA; C.Dir; A.C.C.
