The Services Group is dedicated to procurement professionals who work for service based organizations or are responsible for
sourcing and contracting for services within their organization.
We were organized by procurement professionals during the ISM International Conference in 2000. The Services Group was formed to champion best practices and networking opportunities associated with supply management practitioners, who source services (such as temporary labor, consultants, building services, telecom and technology needs, etc.) or who work in one of the many services-related industries. As we all know, services is the fastest growing sector of not only the U.S. economy, but that of the world economy as well.
The Services Group works with its nearly
1,000 members to develop a dynamic annual Services Conference, that features some of the leading speakers on a wide array of current topics in our field. The Services Group also sponsors a recommended set of speakers at the International Conference each year and conducts chat sessions on relevant topics throughout the year.
The Services Group is proud to be the first recipient of the ISM Groups and Forums Excellence Award, which was presented at the
2005 ISM International Supply Management Conference in San Antonio.
It was followed in 2006, 2007 and 2009 with awards for achieving the
level of Groups and Forums Excellence.
We welcome you not to just be a new member, but to be an active member in helping us pursue opportunities to enhance the field of services procurement.
