Learn, Connect, and Grow

MAPPO's monthly meetings offer a unique combination of professional education, legislative and regulatory updates, networking, and peer-to-peer collaboration. Each meeting features knowledgeable speakers who address current procurement topics, emerging trends, and the practical challenges facing public purchasing professionals. These sessions provide valuable insights while helping members build relationships with experts and colleagues they can turn to long after the meeting ends.

A Community of Professionals

When you join MAPPO, you become part of a collaborative community that understands the realities of public procurement. Whether you're looking for sample specifications, guidance on a complex procurement, or advice from someone who has faced a similar challenge, you'll find members willing to share their expertise.

Just as you'll benefit from the experience of others, you'll also have the opportunity to contribute your own knowledge and best practices. Together, our members strengthen the profession and help one another succeed.
