As is customary for my first post of the month, I\u2019ll share that the SPSM\u00ae<\/sup> continued its expansion into new countries with the first SPSM\u00ae<\/sup> Certification being awarded in Egypt in August.<\/p>\n

Become a member of one of the world\u2019s largest procurement associations today!<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition, I wanted to tell you about a new feature we\u2019ll be trying out here on the Purchasing Certification Blog. With tomorrow\u2019s post, we\u2019ll be launching \u201cWhitepaper Wednesdays\u201d here.<\/p>\n

Every Wednesday, we\u2019ll post a link to a whitepaper. Some will be from Next Level Purchasing. Some will be from other sources. But all will be relevant and valuable to purchasing and supply management professionals.<\/p>\n

So be sure to check back tomorrow for the first Whitepaper Wednesday!<\/p>\n
