CAPPO President's Message - October 2025
Bobbing for bidders?
How do you welcome the fall season? Maybe you enjoy the changing colors in the emergency units that you are probably working on ordering. And who doesn’t enjoy a warm pumpkin pie chart of your performance measures? You could have a great time by dressing up as your favorite super hero sandwich food supplier. Or perhaps you relish the crisp air as you sip on hot cider or free coffee at the city of Murrieta.
Whatever you love about the season, remember that CAPPO is always here to support you in your journey to find education and resources that you need to succeed!
Of course, a great way to enjoy fall is to get registered for CAPPO26 on February 1-4 in San Diego! With dozens of speakers and topics, multiple networking opportunities and a packed vendor exposition, you don’t want to miss this opportunity for education, professional development and fun!
I’ll talk to you again next month.
Scott Munzenmaier, CPPO
