FRPA is excited to team up with the North Carolina Recreation and Park Association to offer a technology-focused virtual event that will take place over multiple days in October-December. The sessions will feature different speakers as well as a virtual exhibit hall. These sessions will be recorded and available for those that pre-register.
Session 4: Monday, November 2 @ 1:00 - 2:30 - Optimizing Parks & Rec with Cooperative Purchasing
No one knows your job better than you. But if you knew there was a way to do it quicker (while saving money), would you want to know more? Cooperative procurement strives to help public agencies like yours become more efficient. While it is designed to simplify the process, there are steps that need to be completed when utilizing a cooperative contract. Learn how to get started with The Decider Guide — a session created to help with your cooperative purchasing strategy, maximizing the value of your spend and simplifying the process.
