March is Public Procurement Month, how are you celebrating?

Procuring the future

Let’s face it, we’ve all needed help at some point in our procurement careers.  Whether you’re a small entity in a rural area or a larger city or county government, we are faced with a solicitation in which we have no experience and no idea where to start.  Or, we are suddenly hit with a once in a lifetime pandemic that none of us have had experience in managing in a procurement setting or in our personal lives.  Situations such as these give rise to the need for peers to come together to ask questions, lean on one another and share information and resources.  Hello ETPA!  Membership in ETPA gives you access to our forum to ask questions, unique training opportunities and events such as Virtual Happy Hours (after work hours) to allow members to lean on one another for comradery and support.  We hope you give serious thought to becoming part of the ETPA family.
