  1. The Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 came out this week. As was the case last year also, Next Level Purchasing is the only certification provider recognized on the list. I\u2019d also like to congratulate fellow Pittsburgh area companies CombineNet and GENCO Supply Chain Solutions on making the list. I\u2019m aware of the great things that CombineNet is doing but, strangely enough, I had not previously heard of GENCO. Doing some quick research on the Web, it seems like they are doing some interesting stuff.<\/li>\n
  2. We\u2019ve launched a new banner on our Web site, giving it a slightly different look. Check it out here.<\/li>\n
  3. A new sponsor of the Purchasing Certification Blog will be announced tomorrow. Stay tuned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
