CAPPO President's Message - November 2025

The month of November reminds us to give thanks for things that we are hopefully appreciative of all year but don’t always express it as often as we should. While I am thankful for many things, at this time I want to express my thanks for CAPPO and everything it has done for me and for everyone else that has been lucky enough to be part of this amazing organization.

For the CAPPO Board, Chapter Leaders, and Volunteers, I am very thankful for their hard work and dedication to the association as a whole. We are doing great things, and this team is driving that with lasting change.

For the CAPPO Office I am thankful for all of their expertise and professionalism in making sure that we are well-organized and effective. We would not be capable of doing nearly as much as we do without them.

For the CAPPO Partners I am thankful for their ongoing support, not just financial but also as subject experts and willing participants in the procurement industry. They recognize that our association is a tremendous benefit to everyone.

For the CAPPO Membership I am thankful because they are the reason that we do all of this. The Leadership, the Office and the Partners would not be needed if we didn’t have an amazing, diverse, hard-working, and ever-growing membership taking part in everything that CAPPO has to offer!

There’s only one place where all four of these vital pieces come together to learn, network and celebrate, and that’s CAPPO26, February 1-4 in San Diego!

I’ll talk to you again next month.

Scott Munzenmaier, CPPO
