Message from CLARISSA G. CLARK

SCAGPO 2011 President

It seems I was just elected by you to serve as your Vice President, and I sit today with a little over a month left in my term as SCAGPO’s 2011 President. We’ve accomplished so much this year; however, rest assured that the best is yet to come! I offer my personal thank you to the Program, Forum, and Co-Sponsorship Committees. These groups have worked tirelessly to ensure members and vendors will receive quality training and an overall wonderful forum. I also thank the Historian, Membership, and Information & Publicity Committees for their hard work through-out the year and also during the Forum. I extend a special thank you to their committee chairpersons: Sam Hanvey, Georgia Gillens, Steve Pullie, Jo Marie Brown, Margaret Woodson, and Stacy Gregg. These people have worked magic all year long and have made me look so much better than I ever could have done with-out them! Finally, I offer a genuine thank you to SCAGPO’s Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and Past Presi-dents who have proven themselves to be invaluable resources to me. This year, we’ve been blessed to have officers from other NIGP chapters in attendance to our An-nual Forum. When you see these “new faces” please make them feel as welcome as possible. Also, as the Forum progresses, I remind you to please thank our vendors and sponsors for their roles in making our Annual Forum a continued success. Thank you for attending and I look forward to the face to face time I will get to spend with each and every one of you. Please enjoy the Forum; and don’t forget to meet Sam on the beach for the morning walks!

SCAGPO History

The Coastal Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasing Officials became an official organi-zation on January 1, 1978. The first meeting was held on January 17, 1978 at the Howard John-son’s Motor Lodge in Charleston, SC. The officers in the inaugural year included the following:

B.D. Bland, President C.E. Hoffman, Jr. , Vice President

Virginia Todd, Treasurer Lynn Samuels, Secretary

The name of the organization changed to the South Carolina Association of Governmental Pur-chasing Officials in late 1979. The association has continued to grow since its inception in 1978. Today's membership stands at over 600 members from all areas of governmental purchasing. SCAGPO is a nonprofit organization providing a wealth of support to purchasing agencies throughout South Carolina. Through its programs, purchasing officials learn the finer points of source selection, competitive bidding, negotiation, transportation, quality assurance, contract ad-ministration, tracking, inventory management, and specification writing. SCAGPO sponsors three professional development seminars per year and an annual conference with purchasing seminars. These have proven invaluable for those professionals in governmental purchasing who want to improve or update purchasing techniques and skills, improve purchasing power, and in-crease overall knowledge of purchasing. Additionally, SCAGPO’s newsletter, "Buyways," is pub-lished for the benefit of it’s members. It reports on developments in purchasing and related prac-tices and news about colleagues across South Carolina. Membership is open to any person who subscribes to the purposes of the South Carolina Associa-tion of Governmental Purchasing Officials. The classes of membership are: Regular Members: Restricted to persons who are actively engaged in governmental pur-chasing activities of any state, county, municipal, educational agency or special purpose po-litical subdivisions. May also be extended to anyone interested in the profession, vendors excluded, and sponsored by a regular member.

9

SCAGPO Purpose The purpose of the South Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasing Officials is:

to study, discuss and recommend improvements in the field of governmental purchasing; to provide a means for the exchange of ideas and experiences among governmental purchasing officials; to promote and encourage professional competence through continuing education and training

of governmental purchasing officials; to promote and foster the professional stature of all persons engaged in governmental purchasing; to achieve recognition of the place of public purchasing in the government structure; to collect, analyze and distribute information relative to the organization and administration of

governmental purchasing activities to governmental purchasing officials; to promote legislation that endorses efficiency in the purchasing process for all governmental

units in South Carolina.

Chapter of

The South Carolina Association of Governmen-

tal Purchasing Officials is a chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing,

Incorporated.
