We will be discussing and presenting papers on our current purchasing practices and their relationship to environmental consequences. As a group, purchasing officials wield enormous buying power but we all have different strategies in regards to 'green purchasing'. As a result of this workshop, we seek to learn from the diverse community of purchasing professionals throughout New Jersey on how their individual experiences can offer lessons to the rest of us. These advances have neither been easily conceived nor easily gained. But they have important lessons for purchasing officials and public administrators since one's ability to deliver could enhance the course of his or her career.
Registration is free, continental breakfast and lunch are included.
