New: 2006 PowerPoint Slides are now available online!

The Division of Purchases and Supply is pleased to present the 18^th Public Procurement Forum Moving at the Speed of Right.

In today’s work environment, we are challenged to do more with less while maintaining a high level of productivity and ethical standards. Doing the right thing is critical to keeping the public trust. Forum 2006 will explore the theme of doing the right thing through general sessions and workshops on ethics, supplier diversity and related topics.

 Tentative agenda includes:

• Keynote address given by Cynthia Cooper, former chief audit executive at WorldCom who blew the whistle on the largest corporate fraud to-date in U.S. history. She was named one of Time Magazine’s 2002 Persons of the Year.
   
• Best practices presentations on supplier diversity (SWAM) programs from government and private sector organizations.
   
• Expo scheduled as a standalone event to allow you ample time to visit booths and network with current and potential suppliers.
