NAEP for Small Schools:
Extending Your Resources, Skills and Knowledge Base
As Congress contemplates the Higher Education
Act, and the House
introduces a bill it is clear that change is on the horizon. And what
is also clear is that the basic tenets of Affordability, Accessibility
and Accountability will not change anytime soon.
In this climate, schools find that they must go broad and dig deep
across all campus constituencies to make sure that everything is aligned
to these higher goals. Most higher education institutions are
introducing affordability initiatives to help student pocketbooks, and
are implementing cost-savings practices that enhance operating
efficiency.
In many small schools, the procurement function is quite often tasked
to education professionals whose core competencies may be serving other
areas of their institution's administration. Procurement may be an
add-on responsibility, but one that if, leveraged to its fullest, will
help you to make a positive impact on your institution's ability to
enhance affordability,accessibility and accountability.
Since 1921, NAEP facilitates the development, exchange, and practice
of effective and ethical procurement within higher education and
associated communities through continuing education, networking, public
information, and advocacy.
Because it is institutionally based, NAEP membership can have a
profound impact on the diverse group of education professionals in
today's decentralized procurement model. Whether you have chosen
procurement as your career path or are an education professional with
procurement responsibilities, NAEP serves you through the advancement of
accountability, affordability, and accessibility. Click on the link
