Welcome back! Season 10 of The Big Bid Theory, brought to you by BidPrime and Beacon Bid! It's hard to believe we've been on the air for a decade now, and what a journey it's been. But enough sentimentality, let's dive into the excitement of our first episode! In this monumental season opener, we're thrilled to introduce Denise Finn, Procurement Services Manager at the City of Fort Myers and President of FAPPO (Florida Association of Public Procurement Officials) . Denise is a recognized leader with a wealth of experience as a consultant, mentor, trainer, and public speaker. We kick off with a preview of the FAPPO 2024 Annual Conference , themed "Riding the Winds and Waters of Change," happening in Orlando from May 19th to 22nd. Denise sheds light on the significance of this event for purchasing professionals and exhibitors alike, highlighting key aspects of the conference schedule. Who knows, maybe we'll even put together a special episode from Orlando! For those new to procurement roles, Denise shares invaluable quick tips and lessons learned from her own journey.
