President's Message
Welcome to the Florida Association of Public Purchasing Officers (FAPPO). As a Member, you belong to one of the premier professional purchasing organizations in the entire country. You also have access to purchasing information that will assist you with your job responsibilities as well as networking opportunities with the brightest and most capable purchasing professionals anywhere!
FAPPO offers professional training at reduced costs, a website where you can post and review job opportunities, review state legislative issues, post surplus property, utilize the discussion forums to ask technical questions or obtain specifications, and view links to other important purchasing sites.
FAPPO sponsors an annual Conference and Trade Show each spring where you can learn about new purchasing topics or techniques and see and obtain information about the latest and greatest technology or products that our Vendor Community shares with us. There are also opportunities to volunteer to be on a committee or to assist at the Annual Conference.
This year we have added the services of a paid Executive Director. Our new Executive Director, Craig Rowley, will be doing marketing and promotional activities for FAPPO as well as processing payments via checks and procurement cards (which is also a new feature this year). We continually strive to improve FAPPO and add new features that will assist all of our members. Keep an eye on our website for these additions. As always, we appreciate your comments and suggestions. Feel free to contact any of the officers or myself at any time.
