BACKGROUND
Background
During the North Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasers (NCAGP) spring conference, the Guilford County Purchasing Division of Finance was awarded the Sustained Professional Purchasing Award for accomplishments in procurement and for demonstrating sustained excellence in purchasing standards. The NCAGP Sustained Professional Purchasing Award (SPPA) is an annual award by the North Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasing that recognizes member agencies for excellence in procurement. The award honors agencies that demonstrate high standards in areas such as technology use, policy, and staff training. This was the fourth year Guilford County Purchasing has won this award. Purchasing received the award along with eighteen (18) other NC agencies for dedication to professional development and continuous improvement to serving both external and internal customers.
Additionally, Purchasing Manager Fran Cameron won the prestigious Hall-Wicker award, which is the first time a Guilford County purchasing professional has won the award since it was established. The award was established by the North Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasing (NCAGP) in 1996 to recognize outstanding contributions and service to the cause and advancement of the purchasing profession and to jointly honor the late Warren "Jake" Wicker who was instrumental in the founding of NCAGP and in the development of a substantial curriculum in purchasing at the Institute of Government for North Carolina public officials, and the late W.T. "Tom" Hall, Jr., who was a tireless innovator, directing his energy toward new ways to make purchasing more efficient and effective.
