PRESIDENT’S WELCOME MESSAGEOn behalf of the California Association of Public Procurement Officials, I am very pleased to welcome you to picturesque Napa, California January 14th through January 18th, 2013 to attend the 96th Annual CAPPO Conference & Vendor Exposition.

The conference theme is, “A Harvest of Knowledge”. You will join your fellow public procurement professionals for this once a year opportunity to engage in workshops, seminars, products exposition, and networking. The conference will help you gain fresh perspectives and new ideas in a motivationally stimulating environment.

Your 2013 Conference Program Chairs, David Louis, A.P.P.,C.P.M., CPPB, CPPO, County of San Joaquin C.P.M., Craig Rader, CPPB, CPPO, County of Sacramento, and Frank Newton, C.P.M., Retired, have assembled an outstanding program with the best in keynote speakers, presenters and current topics. Each topic has been carefully selected to address industry trends, innovative ideas, management techniques and technology. Discover the challenges and sometimes hidden opportunities that we collectively have as public procurement officials.

Your Conference Vendor Exposition Chair, Dave Wetmore, Contra Costa Community College District, has put together an excellent vendor exposition that will showcase the latest in products, technology and services designed to add value to your entity’s operations. Exhibitor representatives will be eager to meet and assist you with any questions you might have regarding their products and services. As the participating exhibitors greatly help off-set the cost of the conference, I encourage each of you to visit as many if not all of the vendors. Remember, without vendor participation, CAPPO would be hard pressed to continue providing the conference at such an affordable rate.

In addition to the exceptional educational program and supplier exposition, there will be opportunities for you to socialize with friends and network with peers and suppliers. The conference hotel, the beautiful Embassy Suites, is located at the gateway to Northern California’s renowned and world famous Napa Valley. It’s a short drive from the Oakland, Sacramento, or San Francisco Airports and affordable shuttle service is available from both Oakland and San Francisco. While the conference schedule is jammed pack with many wonderful learning and educational opportunities, your Facility and Food Chair, Betty Gonzalez has arranged to bring the tastes of Napa to the Vendor Expo and Thank You Reception that you won’t want to miss.

Further, if traveling with a guest, the Guest Program includes some wonderful events at various Napa Valley venues that are sure to keep friends and family entertained while we are busy ‘Harvesting Knowledge’ at the conference.

It is truly my pleasure to welcome you to Napa and an honor to preside over the 2013 Annual Conference and Vendor Exposition!

Sincerely,

Roderick S. Jefferson Sr., CPPB, CPPOCAPPO President 2012-2013

Everyone in the procurement community understands the necessity for managing risk. But do we really understand the implications when we fail to properly manage this function as part of our responsibilities? In this session, David will explain just what can go wrong when we fail to properly manage risk. Share in the horror stories of what has actually happened when public agencies failed to heed the warning and manage risk appropriately.

Diplomacy has been called the art of telling people to go to hell in a way that they’ll actually look forward to the trip. We don’t advocate telling anyone to go anywhere like that, but this outstanding session from Barry Maher shows you how to communicate with people of all types: to diplomatically, tactfully get what you want and get people to look forward to whatever trip you’d like them to take.

The Future of Electric Plug In & Get ThereColin SantulliCalifornia Center for Sustainable EnergyElectric vehicles have arrived to the mainstream consumer marketplace.  No longer a novelty, every major auto manufacturer either has an electric vehicle (EV) in production or plans to release a model this year.  And own-ers regularly rate their satisfaction with these vehicles at the top of their respective classes.  Assisted by many manufacturers selecting the state of California as a launch market for EVs as well as the state’s generous incen-tive project (the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project), it is not surprising that over 20% of the national EV market is here in California.  Th ese factors com-bined bode well for Governor Brown’s recent commitment to expanding the market for EVs in California.  Th e Governor’s March 2012 Executive Order directed the state to “encourage the development and success of zero-emis-sion vehicles to protect the environment, stimulate economic growth and improve the quality of life in the State.”  Included in this eff ort is a directive for the state government to purchase EVs (and other zero emission vehicles) in order to support the market and capture environmental and economic benefi ts. Specifi cally, it requires that beginning in 2015, 10% of light-duty fl eet purchases by state departments be zero emission vehicles, climbing to 25% of light duty purchases by 2020.

Th is presentation will focus on the growth of the electric vehicle market and what that means to fl eet operators throughout the state.  With a focus on fi nancial benefi ts, both from long term operational costs and up front incentives available from the state, the workshop will provide to attendees all of the information needed to make educated fl eet purchase decisions.

Nail Your Next Job InterviewMichael Gersch, C.P.M., CPPOPeople want to believe the most qualifi ed candidate will always get the job. But how oft en have you asked yourself, “I’m the best applicant, so why did they hire someone else?” Th e truth is that qualifi ed purchasing professionals oft en miss out on career opportunities by making mistakes that hurt their chances of be-ing hired; mistakes that could easily be avoided. From poorly written resumes, to being overly nervous, to simple fashion errors, qualifi ed candidates are los-ing out on better jobs. Th is workshop is designed to help purchasing profes-sionals create a quality resume, avoid fashion errors, and interview with confi -dence. With 29 years of public sector experience, I’ve personally interviewed hundreds of candidates and seen the best and the worst that people bring to the hiring process. And mistakes occur at all levels, from Buyer to Con-tracts Analyst to Purchasing Manager; so there are opportunities for everyone to improve. Th is workshop will help purchasing professionals overcome the common mistakes that are made during the hiring process and prepare them to nail their next job interview.

The Tale of the Cardboard Box: Implementing Pollution AvoidanceDarryl Sweet, CPSMTh is presentation compares business paradigms.Paradigm #1 is box-centric, where the things we need are boxed and sent. At-tendees will see the wastefulness of a box-centric world.Paradigm #2 is not box-centric. Box-related resources are transformed. Our agencies, suppliers, peripheral economies, and the earth all benefi t.Th e box paradigm will be scaled up and used as an analogy for a broader view of pollution avoidance that should be implemented in our agencies respec-tive supply chains. Because Purchasing is generally positioned uniquely to deal with nearly all departments and levels within agencies, Purchasing be-comes the default torch-bearer for the Pollution Avoidance cause.Very important in the business picture is the perspective of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which must be discussed vis-à-vis Supply Chain Pollution Avoidance, as environmental impact is one of the costs in the TCO equation.

Leveraging The Value of the CPI & the PPIApril Pay, CPPO, CPPBWe’ve all heard of the CPI, the Consumers’ Price Index, it’s usually the term that is thrown around when our nations’ economic brain trust tells us the bad news about how much more it costs to pay for our basic necessities today, compared to years past. But the CPI is much more than that. Th e Consumers’ Price Index and its partner, the Producer’s Price Index, are powerful tools that public purchasing offi cials can use to assure that suppliers are providing the fairest prices possible.Th is session will provide an overview of the CPI and the PPI including their similarities and diff erences. Recommendations will be off ered on how to le-verage this powerful data to negotiate or renew single or multi-year agree-ments for goods and services.
