The Coastal Georgia Chapter of NIGP is a not-for-profit organization formed to promote professional development, education, and ethical standards in public procurement. Established in 1991 with 11 members, the Chapter today has more than doubled in size and is comprised of municipal, county, education, and state agency procurement professionals who meet quarterly to learn from 

and network with peers. 

The Chapter’s quarterly meeting allows members to learn about current topics affecting public procurement and exchange ideas and experiences with those from the same geographical area.

The local chapter is the backbone of NIGP that enables members to discuss local problems, obtain training and professional certification, network, and advance the purchasing profession at the local level.

The Coastal Georgia Chapter of NIGP also helps foster local cooperative purchasing where the volume of several entities can be combined to obtain the best possible price while reducing administrative burden.
