Thinking CAPP
The Caribbean Association of Procurement Professionals [CAPP] celebrated its Inaugural General Meeting at the Hyatt Hotel on October 10. Brian Lewis, Acting Chair for CAPP welcomed provisional members to the launch of the association presenting an Update on its activities and the Way Forward. Charles Holden, Executive Director of the International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management [IFPSM] gave the welcome address explaining the importance of the association and its potential for improving procurement within the Caribbean. Margaret Rose, Executive Director of the Caribbean Procurement Institute [CPI] outlined the association’s constitution, regulations and forms of membership. Ms Michela Wrong, past journalist for Reuters, the Financial Times, and author of a number of books, including her most recent, It’s Our Turn To Eat published in 2009 was the guest speaker taking questions from the floor, much to the delight of the audience.
CAPP is still in its formative stages and will shortly be mailing out application forms for prospective members.
