Memo on Letterhead

Thank you for your interest in volunteering your expertise and talents to NIGP as we work together to develop, support, and promote the Public Procurement Profession!

There are several ways to volunteer your time, expertise and talents to the mission and success of the Institute. Some commitments extend over multiple years while others are brief, project-focused engagements. Some committees require travel to a meeting or event while other committees and project teams allow you to participate via teleconferencing.

This form can be completed at any time.*Once submitted, your information will serve as a skills and interests inventory. Those responsible for appointing NIGP’s core of volunteers to its committees, task forces, councils and project teams will use your information to match you with the greatest opportunity for service consistent with your needs and interests.

*Note that volunteers who would like to be considered for appointments to NIGP Committees effective the beginning of the next committee term (July 1st) should submit the form to NIGP by no later than April 7th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Rick Grimm, CPPO, CPPB, NIGP’s Chief Executive Officer, at (800) FOR-NIGP x235 or the current NIGP President.
