Michael Kirchner Memorial Library

 
Michael Kirchner

Michael Kirchner
1945 - 2001

Michael Kirchner was a longtime dedicated APICS volunteer who was our chapter President from 1991 until 1994. He remained actively involved on our Board and in chapter activities up until just a few months before losing his battle with a long illness in August, 2001. His family has generously donated his extensive library of APICS and Quality publications to enhance our chapter library, and the library has been renamed in his honor.

On July 17, 2002, we name this Library to honor Michael Kirchner's dedication to learning and the advancement of APICS ideals, and his long tenure as an active and dedicated volunteer for our chapter. Enhanced by the donation of Michael's lifetime collection of APICS and Quality publications, use of this library is offered to our members to promote education and continuous improvement.
