Last chance to register your CIPSA 2011 Procurement Professional Awards entry

This week is the final chance to register an entry for the CIPS Australasia 2011 Procurement Professional Awards, to be held at the Crown Palladium, Melbourne, on the 12th October.

Entry registration deadline this Friday, 15th July. Entry submission deadline is 29th July.

The awards are an integral event that highlights the many great contributions that the procurement profession is making to organisations in both the private and public sectors, CIPS Australasia Managing Director, Jonathan Dutton FCIPS, said.

The awards will stress the importance of recognising outstanding achievers within the procurement profession. 

“Procurement may be the fastest growing profession in business, but its individual practitioners rarely promote their hard-earned achievements or accept due recognition,” Dutton said.

“The CIPS Australasia Procurement Professional Awards are just a step in the right direction towards correcting this imbalance,” he said.  

The judging criteria for the awards will recognise the broad range of skill areas in which procurement professionals excel. 
These areas include project management, negotiation, supplier management, cost reduction, process improvement, individual initiative, teamwork and growth.
