FFLINK has been recognized in the
Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s
list of “100 Great Supply Chain
Projects for 2015.”
This year's list honors leading supply
chain solution and service providers who
have demonstrated utmost leadership
assisting their clients in reaching supply
chain excellence. According to the S&DCE
Organization, these companies are leaders
who have produced measurable gains
in ROI through cost-cutting and increased
efficiency—whether in warehouse, transportation,
procurement sourcing and other categories
in the end-to-end supply chain.”
“Our eLev8® process enabled Zodiac
Aerospace to uncover opportunities and
implement new programs that resulted in
immediate and ongoing supply chain
savings,” said Dennis Riffer, President and
CEO of AFFLINK. “We are honored to have
this initiative included in S&DCE’s distinguished
list of 100 Great Supply Chain Projects for 2015,
but truly our goal is to find innovative ways to
reduce supply chain costs for all our clients.”
The S&DCE judges evaluated the project
submissions based on:
• Ambitiousness and scope of each project
• Cr
solutions, and services used
• Ext
• Clarity of each submission
AFFLINK’s submission highlighted
reducing supply chain costs for Zodiac Aerospace through their Performance for Growth Initiative. With the help of AFFLINK and the eLev8 process, Zodiac Aerospace showed a 17% savings across 14 of their North American manufacturing plants. The initiative spanned multiple categories, including Corrugated, Abrasives, Tape, Packaging, Poly Bags, Restroom Supplies, Safety/MRO, and Labels; allowing eLev8 to track down $634,900.00 in supply chain savings through product and process improvements. Zodiac Aerospace – Cabin and Structures successfully reached their target within seven months of the one year program timeframe.

The Next Generation of ELEVATE Has Arrived
L
aunching at Summit this month, the
Next Generation of ELEVATE will be
unveiled to Members and Suppliers as
the latest innovation AFFLINK’s undertaken
to keep our organization at the forefront of
the industry.
Based on the research conducted by many
third-party consultants, we realized over the
past 18 months that the market was indeed
changing. Our customers—the new Millennial
purchasing agents—are bringing a consumer-
minded experience with them into the B2B
world. The online research and “shopping”
exercises they perform to acquire goods and
services at home are now bleeding into the
day-to-day activities of their professional
careers in strategic sourcing.
Along with this shifting trend came the
realization that traditional methods of reaching
these people, through in-person sales calls and
print catalogs, were fast becoming obsolete.
And that in order to keep our value proposition
top-of-mind, we realized the necessity to
engage the customer differently if we were to
remain relevant in the decision-making process.
In essence, we had to:
• R
be reached (online)
• Design and deliver a customer-centric
experience
• Be a r
consistent, relevant content
• Cr
interaction and engagement to allow for
problem-solving
• Incr
peer reviews and proof sources
• Be eas
These guiding principles became the
foundation for the development of ELEVATE.
And, in less than 12 months, we took this
concept and made it into a reality. With the
launch of ELEVATE to the end-user, we can
now fill the funnel faster—bringing more
value through top-line sales to our Member
and Supplier partners than ever before.

E
vening on San Antonio’s storied River Walk is mesmerizing. Twinkling lights,
shimmering water, and the movement of the crowd envelope you in a
whimsical party found nowhere else on the planet.
“There’s magic here,” says Bill Lyons, manager of Casa Rio, the oldest restaurant
on the river. “When I walk down the steps and onto the River Walk, I feel I’m in
someplace special.”
La Villita, adjacent of the River Walk in downtown San Antonio, was originally
settled nearly 300 years ago as one of the city’s first neighborhoods and was
adapted into a center for regional arts. It’s also a memorable place for events!
In the midst of La Villita’s tree-lined walkways, AFFLINK will host Members and
Suppliers at a Fiesta for our final night event. You’ll enjoy traditional Mexican
fare, fantastic music and enchanting entertainment in an open air plaza on the
river. This is sure to be an unforgettable night with AFFLINK friends and family!
The FINAL NIGHT FIESTA is the culmination of the AFFLINK year.

A
s you may have heard, AFFLINK
recently created a new steering
committee to integrate the next
generation of leaders into our organization.
The Emerging Executive Steering Committee
is comprised of under-40 executives who are
second, third and fourth generation leaders
from their respective businesses. The Emerging
Executives endeavor to advocate for innovative
ideas addressing the needs of millennials as
they rapidly transition into the majority of
employees and consumers.
“The idea of Emerging Executives was
initially brought up during Summit 2014, where
discussions were had among the Members about
engaging the next generation of executives
within the group,” said Michael Wilson, VP of
Marketing for AFFLINK. “The up and coming
leaders of these organizations have great ideas
and different needs than their predecessors and
simply need a place to connect, build relation-
ships and share their thoughts. That’s why we
felt compelled to create E2.”
Despite hailing from all across the country,
the group felt an immediate kinship as they
share similarly unique roles and responsibilities.
They got off to an energetic start planning the
framework for the group and additional social
gatherings. The founding members wrote a
mission and charter for the steering committee.
Passionate young leaders, the Emerging
Executives are charging full-steam ahead.
Since the initial breakout planning session,
at National Planning Meeting, the group has
grown from 12 members to 22. They have
met monthly via conference call and video
conference and have already come up with
some great ideas to implement within the
AFFLINK organization.
The committee wrote and completed a self-
survey of their strengths and needs
and endeavored to solve for the most pressing
issues. Their initial priority was to build a peer
network and develop mentoring relationships.
To this end, AFFLINK is launching a new
mentoring program to meet this need at
Summit 2015.
AFFLINK MENTORING PROGRAM
The AFFLINK Mentoring Program was
designed at the request of the Emerging
Executives Steering Committee to foster
professional growth and networking through
a community of familiarity, respect and
confidentiality. We believe that such a program
fosters a mutually beneficial relationship,
bridging generations and creating value for
both the mentor and the mentee.
Spending time with a peer can spark a
change in your business and start a meaningful
relationship with a trusted colleague. If this
is something that interests you, find out more
information at Summit or contact Lacey
Anderson at [email protected].
Emerging Executives Forge Ahead

JOIN US IN DUBLIN
Our trip begins in
Dublin. We’ll arrive at
the Shelbourne Hotel on
May 9th and start with
a welcome reception.
Dublin wears its heart on
its sleeve. Friendly locals,
rich history and brilliant
personality make Dublin
the perfect start to our Gold Coast Tour!
Visit Trinity College; learn about Irish Football
and hurling; and spend some time wandering
Grafton Street, the city’s liveliest pedestrian
shopping mall.
Have a pint at the Guinness Storehouse.
We are convening for an evening at the
venerable Guinness Storehouse for dinner and
live entertainment. Listen to a U2 tribute band
while sampling the most famous draught of
the Emerald Isle.
DAY TRIPS TO BELFAST OR KILKENNY
Belfast, in Northern Ireland, is a city with a rich
sailing history. The birthplace of the Titanic and
home to beautiful St. Anne’s Cathedral,
Belfast is a top tourist destination for Irish
travelers. Take a must see tour through
the museum commemorating Belfast's
shipbuilding industry — and the 100th
anniversary of the Titanic's only voyage —
the Titanic Belfast, a £100-million visitors
center, opened in April 2012.
If you are interested in a more ancient
past, take a trip to Kilkenny. The past echoes
in every footstep as you walk through
the medieval city of Kilkenny.

21. 19 summer 2015
Explore its ancient laneways, wonder at the
majestic Kilkenny Castle, experience the
glorious Canice's Cathedral and visit Rothe
House, the only example of a 17th century
merchant’s townhouse in Ireland.
RING OF KERRY BY RAIL
We’ll travel by rail in
a private train across
the Ring of Kerry to the
sunny Gold Coast of
Ireland. We’ll play
eighteen holes on the
greenest greens you’ve
ever seen in Killarney.
There, we’ll stay at The
Europe Hotel, a sleek structure that lends an
air of modern spa-like luxury.
SHOPPING OR OUTDOOR
ADVENTURE IN KILLARNEY
We’re adventuring along
the Gap of Dunloe. The
Gap of Dunloe is Ireland’s
most spectacular valley.
Gorged by glaciers,
it is a place of wild
mountain terrain where
the beautiful scenery
has inspired travelers for
thousands of years. We are taking a jaunting
pony cart over a path through the Gap,
situated between clear lakes and
surrounded by jagged mountain terrain.
The small city of Killarney
features some killer shopping
in a lovely walkable setting.
If you are up for more out-
door adventures, tour the
lakes surrounding Killarney
by boat or horseback. We’ll
wrap our trip with a Celtic
celebration at Jarvey’s Pub in
Killarney. Dinner and Irish dancing will highlight
our revelry on the Gold Coast.
SAVE THE DATES
The New Latitudes program runs from
June 1 through December 31, 2015. We’ll travel
May 9–16, 2016. Sign up for the program online
by July 1st, 2015, or visit the New Latitudes
booth in the AFFLINK Marketplace during
Summit 2015.
