With retirements, new hires and diverse generations in the workplace, our procurement worlds are changing dramatically. Discover tools to help you keep up with the learning curve and how our experiences, rather than our age, might define us. Work through procurement scenarios with a bit of fun thrown in to understand the lessons of other people’s perspectives. Discover real takeaways and actionable next steps to take back to the office. Leverage your team’s talents in becoming masterful in better serving your agency.
Tammy served as Purchasing Agent for the City of San Diego, the 9th largest city in the nation, and as Emergency Operations Chief during the 2007 Witch Creek Fires and Mt. Soledad landslide which both destroyed homes, neighborhoods and city facilities. She centralized all purchasing and contracting operations, performed a business process review, implemented the first environmentally preferred purchasing polices, and streamlined warehouse operations – all at the same time! She is now a procurement consultant and Executive Director of the National Cooperative Procurement Partners, helping government clients with strategies and projects to help them succeed. Just in case you think she only knows government, Tammy owned a family winery – Hacienda de las Rosas – and is author of “Drink Fine Wine…Ride Fine Horses – Leading the Life of Your Dreams.” Tammy has the unique perspective of working in three different worlds – corporate, government and entrepreneurial!
