I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing Kelly Barner.

NOTE: In this week’s guest sound bite, Andrew K. Reese, Editorial Director of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine talks about the progression of purchasing activity within most organizations from a tactical function to a strategic value-adding department.
