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 meet the first Tuesday of each month from 1:00-2:00 Eastern Time.  You can subscribe to the community at this link.
