BACKGROUND:
The National Procurement Institute, Inc (NPI) established the Achievement of Excellence in Procurement® (AEP) program, designed to recognize organizational excellence in public procurement. This prestigious annual award is earned by those organizations that demonstrate excellence by obtaining a high score based on criteria designed to measure innovation, professionalism, productivity, e-procurement, and leadership attributes of the procurement organization.
The application is designed to encourage procurement professionals to go beyond the minimum requirements as set yearly by the AEP Sponsors and to recognize innovative programs and solutions that exemplify outstanding achievements. The award not only focuses on practical, documented work but also recognizes leadership and contributions that further advance the public procurement profession.
The City of Carrollton is receiving its first Achievement of Excellence in Procurement. The City is 1 of 198 across the country who received the award this year. The City’s Finance Department, Purchasing Division includes Purchasing Manager Blake Williams, Senior Buyer Priscilla Ann Gonzalez, Buyer Julie Ketterer and Administrative Coordinator Priscilla Gonzales.
