Adoption of Proclamation - Purchasing Month - March (Business Division)

Membership of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) is promoting the purchasing profession through events designed to further educate and inform the general public on the role of purchasing within business, industry, and government. To help in this endeavor, March has been designated as Purchasing Month. Purchasing departments have been asked to take a proactive position to further the awareness of public procurement by initiating an event that publicizes the industry's assets and to plan an event that will help promote the profession.

This agenda item is an effort on our part to support the initiatives of NIGP and to better educate purchasing staff and end users of district procurement guidelines.

This item has no monetary impact.
