NAEP Pulse
Professional Development

 


For nearly a century, NAEP has been committed to empowering higher education procurement professionals. NAEP’s core mission is to advance the development of ethical and innovative procurement strategies within educational institutions and associated communities through collaboration, professional development, networking and advocacy. As NAEP approaches its 100th year as an association, this mission is more critical than ever as our members face unprecedented challenges on their campuses as a result of COVID-19.


To recognize the support of NAEP’s member institutions, we are offering a 10% early renewal discount on annual membership for 2021. This offer is available to current members who renew by Aug. 31, 2020.

How can you best prepare for success in a virtual learning environment when you’ve planned for face-to-face education in the classroom? How do you keep yourself – and your kids – connected with coworkers and classmates.


Many of us found ourselves asking these questions, and more, this past spring as offices and schools across the country closed to slow the spread of COVID-19.
