2006 Fully Certified Agencies
UPPCC Announces 2006 Fully Certified Agencies:
Two "Sterling" Agencies Receive Special Recognition
August 7, 2006 - The Universal Public Purchasing Certification Council (UPPCC) recently announced its 2006 Fully Certified Agency Award winners. The presentation was made in conjunction with the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) 61st Annual Forum and Products Exposition in Tampa, Florida. Twenty-seven agencies achieved the distinguished and unique honor of being fully certified.
Based on the UPPCC eligibility requirements, the Council recognizes those organizations that have met the specific criteria based on job responsibilities within the procurement function with additional requirements for eligibility based on education and public sector experience.
This year, the UPPCC surprised two of the twenty-seven agencies receiving fully certified status as the organization launched the “next level of recognition” for its Fully Certified program; the Sterling Agency Award. The Sterling Agency Award recognizes exceptional agencies that in addition to achieving a fully certified procurement staff, have maintained fully certified staffs for three consecutive years running. This is a truly outstanding accomplishment as it “demonstrates the agencies continuous commitment to professionalism and excellence” said UPPCC Chairman Don Buffum, CPPO. The 2006 Sterling Agency Awards were presented to The Town of East Hampton, New York and Larimer County, Colorado.
