A glaring spotlight shone on the shipping aspect of supply chain during the pandemic for the many reasons we have discussed in chapter meetings during the past few years. Although things are moving (forgive the pun) much more smoothly than we saw during those times, global freight has not completely recovered. Jared Pond, Logistics Manager for USANA Health Sciences, will be presenting on how events of 2024 are expected to affect this recovery and what challenges and opportunities may be ahead in 2025 with government changes both here and abroad, persistent global inflation and potential trade conflicts on the geopolitical stage.

Location: USANA Health Sciences, 3838 W Parkway Blvd, West Valley City, 84120
