Question: What associations are available to me as a Purchasing Management specialist?
Answer: There are various associations available depending on what region of the world you live in. There are technical associations that Purchasing Management professionals join that don’t necessarily focus solely on purchasing. Some of these associations focus on purchasing, supply chain and/or inventory management. Other associations focus on Supply Chain management and production planning. Perform research on your region to see what associations are available to you and also research the associations to make sure they offer membership packages that will benefit you professionally. Most employers will pay the annual dues for membership if they feel the membership will benefit you as a purchasing professional.
