The Next Level Purchasing Association, already the world\u2019s largest professional purchasing association, continues to dominate the purchasing association space by welcoming its 200,000th member this week.<\/p>\n

The Next Level Purchasing Association was officially launched on April 4, 2011 with over 187,000 members representing over 200 countries. As an evolution of the former Free Purchasing Resources Program, the association continues to grow in size; over 13,000 new members have joined in less than two months.<\/p>\n

Members are attracted to the Next Level Purchasing Association due to its revolutionary free online structure. All of the same benefits of traditional associations are offered to members of the Next Level Purchasing Association, including a monthly magazine, free educational webinars and reports, and a networking feature which many have already taken advantage of to elicit advice from their purchasing peers on various procurement topics.<\/p>\n
