SCAGPO

Thank you all members, presenters, and keynote speakers for an incredible Annual Forum! A special thank you to this year's program committee for organizing such a wonderful event. We hope everyone has made it back safe and had a great time! Remember to send in your photos from your time at the Forum to be featured on SCAGPO's social media accounts and tell us some of your highlights! We will see y'all next year at a NEW location, The Embassy Suits by Hilton Charleston Airport. Only 368 days until our next Forum!

Day 1 begins now! We are so excited for all of the educational and networking opportunities coming our way. A special thank you to all of our keynote speakers, presenters, and sponsors for your contributions to this forum. And as always, thank you program committee for your time and dedication which made this forum possible. Don't forget to download the forum app to stay connected and to send in your photos from forum to be featured on SCAGPO's social media pages!

Our final four presenters! First time attendees, please make note of Mike and Stephen's first timer's breakfast session. In the spirit of bridging the gap between new and experienced procurement professionals, that networking session will be so valuable! SCAGPO would also like to congratulate Kimber Craig on being the FIRST female Chief Procurement Officer for the State of South Carolina. We cannot wait to hear the updates and insight that she and Stacy Adams will be able to provide. Now, down to business... who is excited to begin our pre-forum events?! Safe travels and y'all soon.

Four more fabulous forum presenters for y'all! We could not be more appreciative of the efforts all of this year's presenters have already given us and are looking forward to the education we will take from their presentations! We hope to see some of our membership tomorrow at the pre-forum events. Who will we see there?

SCAGPO hopes everyone enjoyed a safe and happy Halloween. Our sweet treat for you is sharing more of our presenters and their topics! Can't wait to see you all either at our Pre-Forum events or at our first day of Forum!

We cannot wait, Evans Duren! Thank you so much for taking the time to come speak with us!

SCAGPO is so excited to share with you some of our topics and presenters. On this very happy Halloween, do y'all know what SCAGPO thinks the end of October means? It means only three more days until forum and seeing some of these fantastic presenters!

Here is another look at our Keynote speakers for the Annual Forum! We hope y'all are as excited as we are!

Wow, our 46th Annual Forum is less than one week away! Here is a sneak peak at two of our Keynote speakers that we are so excited for. Each day until forum, we will give you peaks at who is speaking and presenting. We can't wait to see what we learn from all of the wonderful folks who have volunteered their time to share with us, and cannot wait to see y'all! November 4th just can't come soon enough!

Hello SCAGPO members and community, It is with a heavy heart we inform you of the passing of Carol Norfleet. She will be greatly missed, but her legacy will live on through so many of our SCAGPO members that had the benefit of calling her a friend over the years. The memorial service for Carol will be Wednesday, October 30th, at 12 Noon at Grace Baptist Church, Shepard's Chapel, West Columbia. Please keep Carol's friends and family in your thoughts and prayers during this time. In loving memory of Carol Norfleet, November 27, 1956 - October 23, 2024.
