The
Vendor Management Community of Practice
is open to
research and higher education colleagues
with roles in the vendor management ecosystem - procurement, finance, contracts, service operations, legal, risk management and more.  The group kicked off in January 2025 and welcomes all to join!
If you are interested in connecting with like-minded professionals, sharing ideas and resources, and exploring strategies for effectively managing your IT vendors, we invite you to take this opportunity to learn and grow alongside a network of peers.
We alternate meeting
the first Tuesday or Thursday of each month from 1:00-2:00 Eastern Time.
You can subscribe to the community

Resources to our meetings in 2025 can be
