Utah Chapter President’s Message
May 2026

Welcome to the NIGP Utah Chapter - We’re glad you’re here!

Governmental procurement professionals play an essential role in serving through ethical stewardship, transparency, and the responsible use of public resources. The work you do every day builds public trust and supports effective services across Utah.

I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended our March Chapter Meeting. It was a great success, and the energy and collaboration were truly inspiring. It is these moments of connection that reinforce the strength of our procurement community.

We have some exciting changes and dates to keep on your radar:

• May Chapter Meeting (5/21):
Please note that we are switching things up! We will be hosting a breakfast meeting instead of our usual lunch. Join us for networking and insights starting at an earlier time of 8:30 AM.

• Save the Date:
Looking further ahead, please mark your calendars for our next Reverse Trade Show on May 6, 2027. This is a premier opportunity for us to connect with our supplier partners and showcase the value of Utah’s public procurement.

I encourage you to stay involved—apply for scholarships, attend our meetings, and consider shaping our future by joining a committee or board position. Together, we continue to uphold the values that guide public service.

Thank you for being a valued member of the NIGP Utah Chapter. I am honored to serve as your President, and I am fully committed to building on our shared success. Your dedication to excellence in procurement is what makes our chapter thrive. 

Aimee Elliott
President, NIGP Utah Chapter
