| Welcome to our website.
We are Southeast Florida’s Chapter of NIGP, Inc. We are mainly comprised of purchasing
professionals from governmental entities in Palm Beach and Broward County, we also welcome
Miami-Dade, Monroe County and any governmental purchasing professionals to join our chapter.
Our chapter enables members to gather for networking, conversation and education, to obtain
training and professional certification, and advance the purchasing profession at the local
level.
We host a multitude of educational opportunities to provide members and non-members with
knowledge and skills to become experts in their field. We strive to encourage volunteerism
within our chapter and to enhance further leadership and professional contributions to our
chapter and the public entities our members serve.
Thanks to all our chapter members who support and take pride in our profession, we are
growing stronger every year.
It has been my pleasure and privilege to serve on the Board of Directors for the last two
years and I appreciate the confidence and trust our chapter members have placed in me by
electing me President. I eagerly anticipate this opportunity to serve as President and to
lead our Chapter through 2008.
As President, with our members help, I would like to accomplish many tasks including:
- Provide educational seminars and increase professional certification within our membership.
- Institute a Strategic Plan that will propel our chapter successfully into the next decade.
- Promote purchasing’s contributions internally to the governmental entities and externally to the citizens we serve.
- Hold an 11th Annual Reverse Trade Show to connect governmental entities with the business community.
- Promote NIGP national, state, regional and local events.
