I love being able to meet additional folks across all levels of government and industry. Especially since it is such a large audience committed to helping drive innovation and outcomes for the communities they serve. I have not only made new connections but many friendships." **Mike Nelson** Sr. Public Sector Advisor @ McKinsey & Company  "I love PPA’s vision to elevate the industry and unify our profession. Procurement has always been a team sport, and much more now due to technology, but it is leadership, business acumen, and soft skills that prevail to ensure success. PPA has the opportunity to provide that. It is long overdue and the time and timing for PPA is just right. I am all-in to work with likeminded professionals across our professional landscape. If you are effective practitioner, then you love people and love helping them succeed." **Robert Gleason** Director of Purchasing for Broward County, Florida "As you become more seasoned and you’re craving meaningful opportunities to develop as a professional, the procurement community was lacking and it was difficult to stay engaged in professional networks. PPA has changed that through their platform. PPA has made engaging easy with the learning opportunities they offer and the discussions they facilitate. PPAs empowerment within the profession will have generational impacts. Connecting with others has never been easier because their online format is similar to a social media platform and it casts a wide net to a large network filled with a variety of people."  **Kirby Krol** Sr. Buyer in the Purchasing Department of the City of Wylie, TX --- Our Trusted Partners ![SACUBO Logo (1)](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/SACUBO%20Logo%20(1).webp?width=2503&height=682&name=SACUBO%20Logo%20(1).webp) ![CBMI Vectored Logo (2)](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CBMI%20Vectored%20Logo%20(2).png?width=1972&height=889&name=CBMI%20Vectored%20Logo%20(2).png) ![txppa-revised-logo](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/txppa-revised-logo.png?width=326&height=133&name=txppa-revised-logo.png) ![CCMP\_logo](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CCMP_logo.png?width=4500&height=2504&name=CCMP_logo.png) ![wacubu](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/wacubu.webp?width=668&height=135&name=wacubu.webp) ![GovRAMP\_UpdatedLogo\_July2025\_FullColor\_Horizontal (13) (1)](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/GovRAMP_UpdatedLogo_July2025_FullColor_Horizontal%20(13)%20(1).png?width=1950&height=600&name=GovRAMP_UpdatedLogo_July2025_FullColor_Horizontal%20(13)%20(1).png) --- # Membership for Every Level of Procurement ![Screenshot 2026-09-16 150302](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-16%20150302.png?width=850&height=449&name=Screenshot%202026-09-16%20150302.png "Screenshot 2026-09-16 150302") ## Student Available to students studying procurement in colleges and universities. $0/year #### Benefits include - Connect with peers and mentors - Access to Procurement U - Discounted pricing on external courses - Volunteer opportunities and more [Become a member](https://www.joinppa.org/how-to-participate/) ## Individual Available to public and private sector procurement professionals. $79/year ### Benefits includes - Connect with peers and industry leaders - Access to Procurement U - Discounted pricing on external courses - Eligibility for Exchange Conference attendance and reimbursement - Reimbursement of application and exam fees for those who pass the CPPO/CPPB exam - Volunteer opportunities and more [Become a member](https://www.joinppa.org/how-to-participate/) ## Institutional Available to public and private sector institutions regardless of size. $500/year ### Benefits includes - Connect with peers and industry leaders - Access to Procurement U - Discounted pricing on external courses - Eligibility for Exchange Conference attendance and reimbursement - Multiple user access that extends your benefits across your organization - Reimbursement of application and exam fees for those who pass the CPPO/CPPB exam - Volunteer opportunities and more [Contact sales](https://www.joinppa.org/how-to-participate/) *Stay tuned for membership price announcements*  --- ## Learn More **Reach out to [info@joinppa.org](mailto:info@joinppa.org), and we’ll get back to you with answers to your questions!** --- # Follow Us on Social Media [![](https://resources.joinppa.org/hs-fs/hubfs/high%20res%20PPA%20Header%20(1).png?width=1332&height=366&name=high%20res%20PPA%20Header%20(1).png)](https://joinppa.org) © 2026 Procurement Professionals Alliance (PPA).
