March is Procurement Month

Join NASPO in celebrating March as Procurement Month, honoring the hard work of state government central procurement offices.

Here are some ideas to celebrate Procurement Month:

Follow NASPO on Twitter and watch the NASPO Network and website for Procurement Month ideas, recognition and special posts.
Use #celebrateprocurement on LinkedIn and Twitter to share pictures, ideas and celebrations from your own state.
Ask your Governor to sign a proclamation declaring March as “Celebrate Procurement Month.”
Hold an open house and invite agencies to learn about what your office does and how you can work better together.
Host procurement professional development opportunities for those outside of your agency to build communication and camaraderie.
Encourage procurement staff to celebrate the month with meals or special treats to recognize their accomplishments.
Use your newsletters and other modes of communication to let others know you are celebrating Procurement Month.

Please stay tuned at #celebrateprocurement for more ideas as we gear up to celebrate procurement for the entire month.
