TOAL Conference 0 J. Adling I wanted to share that we have opened the Call for Programs for the TOAL 2019 conference.  The 2019 conference will be held in Little Rock, Arkansas, September 30th -October 3rd.  We are seeking innovative ideas and presentations to continue on the success of the 2018 conference.  The theme for the conference is Mining for Value.  Value is not always the lowest price.  How is your procurement/contracting organization providing value to your institution?  This year we are seeking sessions focusing on large and small institutions as well as community colleges.  Some recommended topics include: Negotiation strategies Key elements of contracts Best evaluation practices Price/value analysis Supplier scorecards Communication skills Fraud prevention Risk management Contract administration Procurement tools Procurement best practices We are not limited to the topics listed above.  Proposals are due by February 28, 2019.  This is a great opportunity for you to building your presenting skills and is a must for anyone wanting to be promoted to manager/director/CPO.  If you need assistance with developing a topic or would like to be partnered with another presenter, please feel free to reach out to me.  Thank you

Commodity Codes tied to State of TX Object Codes 0 Renee Starns TEXAS ONLY- Is anyone using cross walked commodity codes (NIGP/UNSPSC) between Banner and SciQuest?  Do you have the State of Texas Object Codes tied to your commodity codes for reporting purposes?  Would you be willing to share your experiences of implementation within both systems, best practices, lessons learned?  We have been live in both systems for several years, but chose at the time of implementations not to add commodity codes, mainly due to the time constraints and limited staff resources associated with the projects.  However, we are now being asked to go back and add them to both systems.  We are looking for guidance from someone who has already been thru the process, and can help us avoid any time consuming or costly mistakes that could hinder order processing.  Thanks in advance.   Renee' Starns,CTCM Executive Director, Procurement & Business Services Sam Houston State University 936-294-1906 pur_rla@shsu.edu
