CAPS News - June 2020
When Deb Stanton became executive director of CAPS in August 2014, she brought with her more than 30 years of supply management experience, with leadership positions at Mastercard, Honeywell, Whirlpool, and Temple-Inland. At CAPS, Deb has since transformed our research program, technological capabilities, membership offerings, and team. She is not only a supply management visionary, but an accomplished crafter and dedicated grandmother - the latter of which now call her attention. The CAPS team wishes Deb all the best in her retirement, is grateful for her leadership and excited for her next chapter, and also looking forward to welcoming our new executive director.
