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.
