March is Procurement Month
March is Procurement Month As alluded to in Michelle Palmer’s OPBA President’s Message, focusing on reflections from the past can help develop the future. To help us celebrate Purchasing Month, we thought it would be a great time to reflect on the dedication of OPBA’s Past Presidents. The volunteer role of OPBA President has changed over time, however the main focus still remains the same: Chairs meetings of the Governing Board Supervises the general interest and welfare of OPBA Ensures that official policy and procedures are reviewed and set, in accordance with the Constitution and By-laws Provides leadership in all professional matters, including representation of the Association at events and with other professional associations Please take a moment to peruse this extensive list of Past Presidents – there may be some names that you recognize! 1958 1958/59 1959/60 1960/61 1961/62 1962/63 1963/64 1964/65 1965/66 1966/67 1967/68 1968/69 1969/70 1970/71 1971/72 1972/73 1973/74 1974/75 1975/76 1976/77 1977/78 1978/79 1979/80 1980/81 1981/82 1982/83 1983/84 1984/85 1985/86
