This month's show kicks of the first of four shows featuring the nominees and winners for individual awards for procurement professionals and chapter awards to be announce at Forum 2024: Chapter Update - Interview with this year's Forum hosting chapter's President and Committee Chair from the North Carolina Association of Government Purchasing Interviews with nominees for the following NIGP awards: Procurement Manager of the Year Procurement Specialist of the Year Chapter Awards

Todd, Great work assembling these excellent messengers, who exemplify successful leaders, and inspire others in so many ways. They each provided helpful insights about becoming a leader and enlisting perhaps your supervisor and others to help you along the way. The public procurement profession is the place for a full diversity of leadership. Being a lateral leader is important when you have to influence other leaders to make the best choices. Being a leader of your office, is ensuring you are lifting up your staff, opening minds to the possibilities for their success..... And that also goes for leading potential suppliers to show up and be the best providers of great services and products to meet the needs of our citizens. Their work makes life better! Although this distinguished group of messengers were not sharing their journey or turning points to achieve their vision of success, I have tremendous respect for their successive years of building their leadership skills while lifting those around them. In fact, we are all on the same team! Congratulations on this great "first" conversation. I look forward to more!

Here's the "Twas the Night Before" poem and the listing of this month's show: 'Twas the night before the deadline, and all through the place, procurement professionals were hoping for competition and grace. The solicitations were posted online, with great care, in hopes that the proposals would soon appear there. All questions were answered, each one addressed, improving the likelihood of responsiveness. Potential suppliers had labored in turn to vie for the work and award they would earn. As the deadline drew near, there arose such a clatter, I went to my desk to see what was the matter. Right by the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon shined brightly on the new fallen snow and gave the appearance of objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should I see, but a team of suppliers, posting deals near me. With systems and inputs, so lively and quick, I knew we’d be ready to evaluate and pick. More rapid than eagles the offers they came, tallied, and counted and listed by name: Periscope, Toro, Amazon, and Cintas! Carrier, Home Depot, SCW and DRS! Graybar, Pavilion, and Sourcewell as well! ODP Solutions and a whole host more! The procurement professionals were ready to calculate the scores. As leaves before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, so up to the office the procurement staff flew, With a sleigh full of end users and contracts too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard in my space, The chatter or end user’s making their case. As I drew in my breath and heard something loud, Down the hallway came suppliers all in a crowd. They were dressed all in suits, from their heads to their feet, and their clothes were all tarnished with ink stains, how neat! A bundle of contracts they had flung on their back, and they looked like lawyers opening their pack. Their eyes, how they twinkled! Their smiles, how merry! I expected morose but oh on the contrary, their droll little mouths were drawn up like a bow, And the ink in their pens was blue so it would show. The stump of that pen they held tight in their hand, and they signed all the contracts, just like they planned. They spoke not a word, but went straight to their work, and filled all the offices, then turned with a smirk. And laying their fingers aside of their nose, and giving a nod, up the elevator they rose! They sprang to their sleigh, to their team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard them exclaim, ‘ere they drove out of sight, this is Radio N I G P.

Always smooth entrance from Kevin!! i had a feeling the time zone finally kicken in for you. lol!

Mentorship is so important in public procurement. Key to the success I was fortunate to experience in the profession. And the benefits go both ways.

SO Cool! What a great success for both professionals!

Awesome Disclaimer - Screaming with laughter! Thank you!

Another great episode!

Excellent discussion by Kirk and David concerning mandatory pre-bids. If using federal fund some federal agencies (HUD and FTA for instance) strongly discourage mandatory pre-bid conferences for the same reasons that Kirk mentions: Reducing competition.

Timeline for this month's show: • :00 Introduction/Welcome • 2:15 Deciding When It's Time to Walk Away • 14:45 How the ADA can help • 19:01 A panel discussion on “How can I improve my situation” with subject matter experts in the field Human Resources and Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI). During this segment of the show, we take a “Deeper Dive” and explore opportunities that organizations and employees can work together to strengthen the mental and emotional well-being of the employees so that they can live healthier life’s and be productive both at home and work. • 46:07 Balancing your work/life and volunteering • 1:.04:20 “When enough is enough” with the Hot Topics group • 1:27:24 Managing your own situation: prioritization of multiple competing procurement requests, and how to make sure that taking a vacation has the desired effect. • 1:40:40 How to calm your mind to focus on what really matters • 1:49:49 Closing comments During the pandemic we began to vocalize the importance of work/life balance. We appreciated the importance of having a strong network and support system to help offset the struggles that isolation can bring. Unfortunately, for many whose struggle is with mental health, the awareness alone does not bring about change or relief. Listen to this month’s commentary for some insight and encouragement that will make you go HHMMMM.

Good job Jenn!

Thanks to NIGP and Sourcewell for making this recommendation a reality. Chapters are our local procurement communities and it is exciting to be able to connect via our website! We are almost live (Central Ohio Organization of Public Procurement) and our implementation Team immediately identified the value of connecting this way! Way to Grow Veronica, Gretchen, Kellie, Mark, Deb, Adam, Donna, Whitney and Lori!! YAY!!!

All true advice! It was so nice to see these familiar faces, enjoying the 22 Boston Forum - our members are our strength! Thank you for creating and sharing this video! See YOU at 23 Louisville Forum !!

This is another great episode. So glad that you all are doing this.

Great show for you this month with some great ideas on how to plan for celebrating Procurement Month in March (including tips on obtaining a proclamation some inexpensive/free ways to celebrate). Public Procurement Professionals are an awesome group and do so much thankless work that it's nice to take a moment and pat ourselves on the back. OK, that's long enough. There's solicitations/contracts waiting for you!

Is there a way in the "Who can register and what they will pay" section to use members by selected type more than once. For example I want to allow Vendors different payment options.

Hope you enjoy the Radio NIGP series - would love your comments, questions and suggestions!

Awesome episode!! It was my first episode and it was loaded with a lot of information and tips for the forum for first timers as well as veterans. Great job looking forward to going to Boston..

Great episode!! That was a lot of content and a great introduction to Forum 2022! Thanks to everyone for their time and participation to create this episode! See you in Boston!!

Adding timestamps to the video would be helpful to jump to different topics. Thank you.

Hoping to see many of you in Boston this year!

Nice intro to kick off the month

I (heart) this content so much! "Know", not "No"!

That was an awesome and inspiring conversation!

Great interview with an icon of public procurement, Jack Pitzer.

I am taking a new course: Adult Learning & Instruction and it is way more exciting than Cognitive Functioning in the Elderly. I am recording some of my textbook and some of this as well and then listening to the full recording later. I haven't read the book but this is good enough.
