KENCO TATS

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!

🏆 The Board of KENCO TATS is absolutely thrilled to officially announce the recipient of the 2026 KENCO Technical Assistance and Training Solutions Academic Scholarship: ✨Phillip Polichtchovk!✨

Phillip, a Junior at Temple University, was selected for his outstanding academic excellence and his incredible potential to make lasting contributions to the field of Supply Chain Management.

In his application essay, Phillip shared a powerful reflection on what this support means for his journey: "Receiving this scholarship would have a positive impact on my educational journey, relieving me from some of my financial pressures and providing me with more time and energy to invest in my future career. [...] It’s hard to stay fully focused on professional goals when I’m constantly balancing school with the financial pressure of running my own businesses just to cover my costs. This award would allow me to shift that "entrepreneurial energy" away from survival and toward things that will prepare me for the future, like pursuing the APICS CPIM certification."

This is exactly why nonprofit KENCO TATS exists—to bridge the gap, alleviate the pressure, and empower the next generation of supply chain leaders to shift their energy from survival to true professional thriving. We have no doubt that Phillip will achieve incredible milestones, including his CPIM certification, and we are honored to be a part of his journey.

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent 5th Annual Networking and Scholarship Event and to everyone who continues to support these vital initiatives!

Congratulations again, Phillip! Your future the field of supply chain management is bright. 🌟

Have a wonderful day!

Talk about a SWEET surprise! ...

The KENCO TATS 5th Annual Networking and Scholarship Event was sweetened by quite a few new faces: 1/3 of our attendees were brand NEW connections! 🤩 There’s nothing sweeter than seeing our community grow and welcoming new energy into the mix. We are so grateful for all the fresh connections and the support for our scholarship program.

The energy from these fresh faces, combined with legacy supporters, truly added a powerful layer of excitement (and sweetness!) to our mission of supporting the next generation of scholars. Here's to making connections that matter. 🥂

Good morning! 🌞

Recently our Founder and Board President, Phoebe Kenney, did an interview with FXBG Neighbors podcast, which is now available on YouTube!

https://youtu.be/Q05CdTVtquQ?si=1gr_HLKqA9uTDoxc

They talked about the talent gap forming as experienced professionals retire and why representation matters when decisions are made.

Along the way, Phoebe debunks the “boring” myth and map out how broad the field really is: subcontracts, contracts, negotiation, relationship management, training, capacity development, warehouse operations, and today’s push toward digital transformation. She also talks about how responsible AI and better forecasting help teams mitigate risk and build resilient supply chains, and why transferable skills matter more than a perfect resume.

The interview is less than 12 minutes long - enjoy!
