The Warehousing Education and Research Council announces that its business hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Central) effective August 3, 2009.

"We know that longer hours when WERC staff are available by phone and email means that our members are offered increased service," says Michael Mikitka, chief executive officer of the association. "And that's what we are all about--serving our members. In particular, our 'Midwest hours' have limited our accessibilty to West Coast members. This is a step forward in better serving that segment of our membership."

The WERC office is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Reach us at 630/990-0001 or wercoffice@werc.org
