About Us
Since May 25, 2005, the Utah Chapter of NIGP (formally the National Institute for Governmental Procurement) has grown from a handful of chapter officers to becoming a large chapter of over 100 members statewide. Each year we strive to help our members by encouraging networking, providing continuing education and promoting certification.
The purpose of the Chapter is to:
• Promote ethical, efficient and cost-effective public purchasing.
• Provide educational programs, products and services.
• Provide a location and ambiance where purchasing professionals can share ideas.
• Facilitate the conduct of purchasing activities by public agencies.
The objective is to promote the quality and stature of public purchasing and to advance individual professionalism through training, networking and certification.
We hope as members participate in the Chapter, their needs will be met and they in turn can help this organization grow each year.
