We wanted to share the good news with our neighboring NIGP Chapters that Iowa is forming an NIGP chapter. The Iowa Public Procurement Association (IPPA) will hold their chartering ceremony on November 19, 2008.

We also have an upcoming educational opportunity that we would like you to share with your members.

“Developing and Managing RFPs”

(Des Moines, IA)

I hope we can communicate with each other frequently to share purchasing information and educational opportunities that we all are hosting. I am the designated person for chapter relations for Iowa so anything that you would like to send to our membership just let me know.

Regards, Judy
