Message from the President
Welcome to the TAPP website!
I appreciate the opportunity that you have placed
in me and your new Board members. The past year was one of excitement
and growth for me and I hope it was the same for everyone. The new year
of TAPP is filled with promise and opportunity.
When your new Board first met we had the same eye
on the future and looked at the opportunities before us. Just like
past boards have done, we have tried to schedule some different speakers
and look at topics that we believe are relevant to our duties in the
purchasing arena for upcoming events.
Please Visit the "Events" to
see information on our upcoming 2008 Fall Conference.
