CONTINUING EDUCATION

  The interesting thing about being your own boss is that you have the ability to devote a lot more time to additional and more detailed knowledge. It is scary when you “learn” that some of your philosophies were only half-truths and now you can see why they succeeded or failed.

Even though all of us are learning every day, there seems to be a direct correlation between the amount of time devoted, to the amount of education grasped. For me, seminars and presentations put together in the past with limited amounts of time did not have the quality of those prepared today. The range and accuracy of the information to the attendees and clients keeps improving, and I sometimes wish that I could have known then what I know now. Our profession is evolving, and change seems to be the only constant.

ICC has embarked upon a joint venture with NPI to bring some of the most advanced theory symposiums, as well as the traditional “how to” seminars, to locations across the United States. Take a little of your time to expand your horizons or send one of your employees to a National Purchasing Institute educational experience.

It’s a trip into the future.

If you would like to coordinate a specific program in your area, please contact Bert Holfeltz, NPI President, at (801) 468-2499. This could be a customized presentation around the topics you want covered, or it could be one of our standard topics. If the presentation is open to the public for a fee, you can designate one person for a free admission. Or you can offer an in-house program specially tailored to your employer’s needs/requirements.

Don’t you wish we all had the same knowledge and experience? Well, the next best thing is continuing education on the widest scale possible. So make that call today.
