RECOMMENDATION: Resolution to accept a $2,500 scholarship from the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) and approve a budget adjustment. BACKGROUND: The NIGP Forum is the largest North American conference exclusively for public procurement professionals. The Forum is NIGP's showcase educational event, providing an ideal environment for networking with colleagues and suppliers, attending educational workshops led by subject matter experts, and being motivated and inspired by professional speakers during general sessions. Attendees have the opportunity to visit with nearly 200 suppliers during the products exposition, which provides an environment for one-on-one interaction and networking. Procurement professionals receive real hands-on experience with the latest and greatest products and services available to governments during dedicated expo hours. More than 60 specialized educational workshops and formal networking opportunities will be available to help improve skills, learn best practices, and provide a platform where professionals can gain support from colleagues on issues faced daily in the procurement profession. The NIGP Forum is exclusive to the public procurement profession; therefore, educational sessions will relate specifically to public procurement needs. Professionals from all facets of the government will highly benefit from attending this event. Attending the NIGP Forum enhances competencies and allows staff to bring additional value to the City and the taxpayers we serve with the knowledge gained. DISCUSSION: The 2017 NIGP Forum Scholarship Program for Young and/or New Public Procurement Professionals was developed in 2015 by the NIGP Forum and Products Exposition Committee to provide assistance to public procurement professionals for people new to the public procurement profession.
