You will soon receive the
End of Year Survey which gives you an opportunity to provide input on speakers, desired NIGP classes and other resources to assist with your personal and professional growth. Also, seats are still available for the
December Awards Luncheon so register as soon as possible. The Business Meeting & Awards Luncheon will be held on December 10th at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 1650 N 95th Lane Phoenix, AZ 85037. The business meeting will begin promptly at 11:30am. Special Announcement: Join us for a deep dive training on Pavilion!
Pavilion is a tool that helps you buy what you need without going through a new solicitation. Think Google for sharable contracts!
Lastly, let us also take time to reflect on the blessings in our lives—family, friends, good health, and the sense of purpose that comes from being part of something greater than ourselves. May this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and the warmth of loved ones. Wishing you all a happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year filled with peace, happiness, and new opportunities.
Warm regards,
Haydee Nora, MPA, CPPO
AZNIGP 2024 President
