Society to Resume Mailing Professional Purchasing

Date: 01/21/2021

Beginning in January, the Society will resume mailing out issues of Professional Purchasing. The Society had halted mailing publications after it was discovered that the USPS was having difficulty keeping up with mail service. Some testing has showed that USPS has begun to catch up and resume offering timely service and delivery of all classifications of mail. We hope that this will continue and that the Society will be able to mail issues of Professional Purchasing each month moving forward. Professional Purchasing is also available through the member area of our website.
