Over the past 2+ years, I\u2019ve been posting reviews of whitepapers on this blog as part of our weekly \u201cWhitepaper Wednesday\u201d feature. Now, as part of our commitment to helping purchasing professionals have rewarding careers, I want to turn the Whitepaper Wednesday reigns over to some talented SPSM\u2019s interested in positioning themselves as thought leaders in the profession.<\/p>\n

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

In addition to the recognition of posting on the heavily-trafficked Purchasing Certification Blog, we will also award one Continuing Education Hour for each Whitepaper Wednesday post contributed. These Continuing Education Hours can be applied to SPSM\u00ae<\/sup> or SPSM2 recertification requirements.<\/p>\n

If you have earned the SPSM\u00ae<\/sup> Certification and are interested in contributing to a future installment of Whitepaper Wednesday, contact us at support@nextlevelpurchasing.com<\/a> no later than Tuesday September 28. I am looking forward to seeing who will step up and be the profession\u2019s newest thought leaders!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
