President's Message
Dear TxPPA Members,
We had a great conference at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock this past April, with a record number of attendees and new exhibitors. Your committee members and the Management company have been working hard to make this the organization of choice for all our members. Again, thank you to the TxPPA committee members for all you've done for our association.
We have more legislative information, webinars, and conference programs to come. We will continue promoting excellence in public procurement. Advancing public procurement practices has been vital to our association's growth and success.
The Fall Conference promises outstanding networking, learning, and collaboration opportunities for public procurement professionals across Texas.
Thank you for making TPPA's Spring Conference a success! We look forward to seeing you in San Marcos in the Fall at the newly renovated Embassy Suites November 17th through the 20th.
Melissa Lee, C.P.M., A.P.P.
