On Monday September 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. join us Online for the Virtual Procurement Bootcamp for Urban Municipal Administrators.
This is the final year this program will be offered, if you’ve been thinking about joining, now is the time! Don’t miss your chance to learn, connect, and strengthen your municipality’s procurement practices.
If you attended the session in Saskatoon on June 2 ahead of the UMAAS Convention this is the same presentation. Continue to keep an eye on member emails, Municipal Update, and SUMA's website for more information about the "Part 2" session that will be hosted virtually in October.
Whether you’re brand new or a returning participant from Procurement Bootcamps delivered in 2024 or 2025, we’re offering a completely refreshed, brand new program led by LouAnne Birkett, CSCMP, FSCMP. This session dives deep into the essentials, from proven best practices to critical requirements, policies, and cooperative buying groups. If procurement plays any role in your work, this virtual workshop is not to be missed.
This event is exclusively for administration from SUMA member municipalities.
Thanks to funding through the Targeted Sector Support (TSS) initiative, this one day Procurement Bootcamp is free for SUMA member municipalities. Space is limited to 60 participants.
