It has been a busy blogging month, so I apologize for not getting the new countries with SPSM\u2019s to you until now \u2013 I usually use the first blogging day of the month to do so.<\/p>\n

April saw us continue to race towards 50 countries with SPSM\u00ae<\/sup>-Certified purchasing professionals as we awarded the first SPSM\u00ae<\/sup> Certification to a purchasing professional in Nigeria in April.<\/p>\n

Speaking of SPSM\u2019s in the Eastern Hemisphere, we recently added a quote from our first female SPSM in Kuwait to the page describing our online class \u201cMastering Purchasing Fundamentals.\u201d Please feel free to check out her comments.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for an exciting blogging week next week with posts about Twitter<\/a> for purchasing professionals, of course another Whitepaper Wednesday, and more of the off-the-cuff posts that you\u2019ve come to know (and hopefully love) from this blog.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
