In 1921, a small dedicated group of Purchasing Agents met in downtown Houston to form the Purchasing Agents Association of Houston. During the next 75 years, this group has grown tremendously to become one of the largest in the nation. The foundations that were established and expanded during this time have guaranteed the association's existence well into the 21st Century.

NAPM-Houston, Inc. will continue professional education and development of purchasing and materials management skills in its members through training programs, seminars, workshops and speakers.

Membership Activities

Looking for a way to get involved with NAPM-Houston, but don't have much time? You may be interested in serving as a Company Coordinator. If your company has three or more NAPM Houston members, we'd be interested in having you serve in this capacity. A Coordinator's responsibilities include dispersing faxes and other communications to the members at your company, helping us follow up on dues collection, making sure we have correct contact information for their members, and serving as a "sounding-board" between your members and NAPM's Board so that we continue to improve the organization and address the concerns of the membership. It only takes an hour or so a month, and really helps NAPM perform more efficiently.

I'd like to recognize and express our gratitude to the current Company Coordinators:

If you see your company listed here, please make sure you're in contact with your Company Coordinator. If your company is not here and you have three or more members, give me a call
