Happy Holidays FAPPO!
It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Fall Workshop in Gainesville. I’d like to once again recognize Marian Pace, Fall Workshop Program Chair for a job well done! We received great feedback from attendees on the concurrent educational offerings and our dynamic speakers. In addition to the workshop sessions, we held a Dutch Dinner at Cody’s Roadhouse, which provided an additional opportunity for attendees to network with their peers and enjoy a great meal. It was also a chance for us to bid farewell to one of our own.
Chris Rewis, FAPPO Secretary was offered an amazing opportunity to work in the private sector. She accepted the position, which means she can no longer serve this association. Chris’s dedication and commitment to FAPPO has spanned many years and her presence will be sorely missed. I wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor and know she will do amazing things. We have assembled a pictorial tribute to Chris in this newsletter. Congratulations Chris!
With the departure of Chris from the FAPPO Board, we were left with a huge void to fill. Let me tell you, it didn’t take long (less than an hour) for another dedicated member of FAPPO to step forward and offer her services. I have appointed Marian Pace to fulfill the duties of FAPPO Secretary for the remainder of this fiscal year. I can’t thank Marian enough for offering to step back in, in addition to her service on several committees. She truly is wonder woman!
At the Annual Conference in May we will hold elections for the positions of Secretary and Treasurer for the 2013/2014 year. You will find the nomination form included in this newsletter. I encourage you to consider submitting a nomination. It truly is an amazing experience and a great opportunity to give back to this profession.
As part of our strategic plan initiatives, we have launched a Diversity Essay Contest. Complete details can be found in this newsletter. The winner will receive $300 FAPPO Bucks and all others who submit will receive $25 FAPPO Bucks. This is a great way to earn Bucks to attend the Annual Conference in Daytona Beach. Submittals are due by March 4, 2013.
I have convened a Task Force to tackle another of our strategic initiatives, a redesign of the FAPPO website. Over the next few months we will be working on improving not only the look of the website, but the functionality as well. Our goal is to establish a robust website that is content‐rich and user‐friendly for our membership.
We continue to plan for the 46th Annual Conference and Trade Show in Daytona Beach. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to email Craig Rowley, Executive Director ([email protected]) to request an ID number to be assigned to your entity for marketing the event to your suppliers. This is a great opportunity to earn FAPPO Bucks. The 2013 Annual Conference Registration Form and Conference information is available on the website at http://www.fappo.org/annual_tradeshow.asp.
Wishing you and your families a safe and happy holiday season!
Regards,
Carrie Carrie Woodell, CFCM, CPPO, C.P.M., FCPM

Message from the Vice President Happy Holidays FAPPO! I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I know you are looking forward to the rest of the holidays as I am. As part of that enjoyment, there is also sorrow for those that are no longer with us however, remembering my lost love ones encourage me to remember to be thankful for:
1. Being alive. My like depends on the labors and sacrifice of others and I must exert myself in order to try to give back what I have received and am receiving.
2. Having an incredible family including our extended families such as FAPPO members and those we work with.
3. Being born in Florida in the USA, I could have been born anywhere which would determine my religion and opportunities in life!!
4. Having a career that matters and since I spend more waking hours at work than any other single place it is good to know that it is worth my investment.
5. Having the opportunity to serve “YOU” in this fabulous organization!
For those of you that attended the Fall 2013 conference in Gainesville you know what a great educational and networking opportunity it was. I would like to thank Marian for such an excellent program. With the New Year just around the corner, now it is time to mark your calendars May 19‐22, 2013, and get ready for the 46th Annual Conference and Trade Show. It is in Daytona Beach at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort. Take the opportunity to make this a family vacation the hotel room rates at $119 can’t be beat!! Thank you Craig, for once again negotiating such a great deal!!! If you are like me and most of the rest of us concerned about budgets, don’t despair, FAPPO is there to assist with FAPPO BUCKS!!! Below are several ways to earn FAPPO Bucks:

SILENT AUCTION ITEMS NEEDED “Captain” Jason Outzs is collecting items for the Annual Silent Auction held at the Vendor Trade Show. If you are interested in donating contact Jason at [email protected]. This year FAPPO will be auctioning the “beloved” FAPPO Banner, which has been with us for a very long time. The banner was retired when the name changed to Florida Association of Public Procurement Officials. Attendees at the Fall Workshop signed the banner and the banner will be on display at the Annual Conference for members to sign. This is a great opportunity for FAPPO members to purchase a piece of FAPPO history and contribute to the Norma M. Showley Scholarship Fund. All proceeds from the Silent Auction benefit the Norma M. Showley Scholarship Fund. Members may also make a direct donation to this fund. Click here to download the donation form.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE The 2013 session of the Florida Legislature will be here before you know it and CCNA reform marches on. As you may recall, NIGP, FAPPO and several local agencies have expressed support for a proposed amendment to the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (or CCNA) that would allow public agencies the discretion consider price when selecting among the most qualified firms. The existing Qualifications Based Selection process would remain intact and available for use, but public agencies could as an alternative, ask the firms ranked highest strictly on qualifications to submit a subsequent fee proposal which would be evaluated along with qualifications in making the final selection. If you support public choice, that is affording agencies more latitude in how they procure CCNA services, you need to be heard from on this issue. Please contact your local State House and Senate members. Let them know how you feel. Scheduling a face to face meeting with them in their home office is probably the most effective means of supporting this message. If you need any supporting information to clearly explain our position, please contact Steve Carnell (239‐252‐8371 or [email protected]) or Cheryl Shanaberger at (772‐871‐7390 or [email protected]) for more information. Thank you, Steve Carnell and Cheryl Shanaberger

News from the Procedural Oversight Committee
In June, President Woodell charged the Procedural Oversight Committee to prepare a revised Officer’s and Committee Chair Manual. The Committee reviewed past job descriptions, By‐laws and current Policies to ensure all governing documents were in compliance.
Preparation of the job descriptions led to changes of FAPPO Policies and standardization of forms, including conversion to PDF form fill‐ins. Refer to Page 16 for links to Professional Development, Scholarships, and FAPPO Bucks Programs and Forms.
Last month the Board of Director’s approved a revised Officer’s and Committee Chair’s Manual and FAPPO’s first Policy and Procedure Manual. This was an exciting and challenging task and offers Members the opportunity to read the job descriptions and VOLUNTEER their services in FAPPO!
Have a Great Holiday Season!

Member Spotlight
2012 Buyer of the Year Laurie Roberts, CPPB District School Board of Pasco County
What year did you join FAPPO? 1989 How long have you been in the public procurement profession? I’ve been employed with the District School Board of Pasco County’s Purchasing Department for 24 years. What professional certifications do you hold? I currently hold the CPPB.
What is your most memorable procurement transaction? I have done so many that this is a hard question, but the one that really sticks out in my mind is when I did nine bids for nine schools to be hurricane retrofitted. I scheduled them all to open at the same time. I was going crazy and learned that you should never schedule more than one bid opening at a time. What is your most memorable FAPPO experience? Back in the 90’s, I was driving to the Fall Workshop in Ocala and had a flat tire and when I got my spare out, it was flat also. Since then, I always make sure when I check the air pressure in my tires to check my spare also. Hard lesson learned.
What are your future goals? My future goals include finishing my Bachelor’s degree with USF and to obtain my CPPO.
Tell us one little known fact about yourself……….. I’m a country girl at heart and I love to take my horses’ barrel racing every chance I get. I’m a two time World qualifier for National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA).
CONGRATULATIONS TO FAPPO MEMBER LAURIE ROBERTS

The purpose of benchmarking is to provide a baseline for developing strategies and goals.
The art of benchmarking is relatively simple.
Assign a team member to champion each component and ensure that everyone understands their role
Benchmarking: What’s In It For Me? Benchmarking is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot in business, but what does it really mean and how is it applicable to your procurement department and your agency/organization? Benchmarking should not be viewed only as statistical data on a department’s clerical/tactical processes. Its true purpose is to provide a baseline for developing strategies and goals for improvements in areas such as quality, efficiency/effectiveness, resource utilization, customer service, or technology. A better way to look at benchmarking is a method by which we can compare our status on an on-going basis against comparable other operations in the marketplace. In other words, it’s not just to determine where your department is. Ultimately it should be used to provide you with information that will assist you in establishing where your department needs to be and a mechanism to evaluate improvement progress. Benchmarking is an on-going process, not a one-time activity. The Process The art of benchmarking is relatively simple. You begin the process by evaluating current performance against pre-established standards. There are a number of established benchmarking studies and measures that are available through procurement professional organizations. NIGP’s OA4 accreditation provides a great model for excellence in a number of criteria, the NIGP Innovation Award captures revolutionary, creative processes by forward thinking organizations, the Award for Excellence in Public Procurement (AEP) and Best Practice Awards presented by FAPPO each year present other yardsticks for gauging progress. Another option is to conduct a survey of your own to gather fresh data on a particular subject specific to your organizational strategies. Once it has been decided which data resource to use and relative information for your department has been gathered, the next step is to analyze the two and determine the gaps between your department and the benchmark standard. Next, conduct a brainstorming session with input from all staff members. Collaboratively formalize a plan of improvement goals and develop the strategies and milestones for attaining each. Then assign a team member to champion each component and ensure that everyone understands their role, knows the goals and is kept abreast of the progress. Another very important role of the champion(s) is to organize a celebration when milestones are met that helps re-focus efforts and encourages the team. Finally, as part of the continuing benchmarking process, you must periodically re-measure to determine if the desired results are being achieved. If not, review your plan and if necessary, revise your strategies. One common pitfall that many fall prey to when beginning the benchmarking process is trying to make it too broad or all encompassing. A better way is to focus on a couple of key elements, move the organization forward in those areas, then fold other components into the mix as you reach your milestone targets; continuing, of course, to refresh your data and measuring yourself on all components to ensure that complacency doesn’t sabotage your hard work.

Benchmarking allows for a clear measurement of the organization’s progress.
About the author: Theresa Webb is Project Manager for Hillsborough County Aviation Authority at Tampa International Airport.
Other Considerations That being said; the most important thing to remember in selecting what to benchmark is to opt for what is important to your organization and agency. Each organization is distinct and measures should be tailored to compliment the current culture, environment and organizational mission and priorities. Potential candidates for benchmarking are items such as cost savings, opti-mizing staffing resources, customer service/outreach, technology capabili-ties, innovation, and managing/developing suppliers. What does benchmarking do for your organization? (1) it helps you to deter-mine where your organization currently is as compared to the marketplace; (2) it helps you to establish goals and strategies to improve shortcomings; and (3) it allows for clear measurement of the organization’s on-going pro-gress towards its goals .

2012 FAPPO SURVEY – SOON TO BE RELEASED! In the fall of 2011, over 125 of FAPPO member agencies participated in a survey which measured current trends and methods of local government procurement operations and salary survey throughout the State of Florida. The survey was released through SurveyMonkey.com. Topics surveyed consisted of common practices such as general agency information and demographics, electronic procurement, CCNA, construction procurement, P‐Card programs, revenue contracts, procurement positions, salaries, education, training and preferences in procurement. Valuable information was obtained and is currently posted to the website under the Members Only section. Within the next few weeks, FAPPO will be releasing an updated 2013 version of this survey for member agency participation. Improvements to the 2011 format will be incorporated along with measurements for additional information. The invitation to participate in the 2013 survey will be sent through the FAPPO notification system. Those who are not interested in participating may simply opt‐out. Results of the completed survey will be presented at the 2013 FAPPO Annual Conference in Daytona Beach. If you have any questions or would like to receive additional information, please contact Bobbye Marsala, CPPO, CPPB, C.P.M., FCPM, FCPA at (321) 952‐3424, or [email protected].

FAPPO recognizes the range of differences among all those that procurement professionals have interaction including their value and contributions from each. The Diversity Essay should address why inclusiveness and respect for diversity is important to procurement. What are the implications of diversity for procurement; in your office, entity, vendor relations or customer relations? The essay should focus on this theme and you are free to be as imaginative as you desire. I know there are some very interesting stories out there just waiting to fascinate our membership. Contestants must submit a 900 – 1000 word essay. One double-spaced copy of the essay plus an electronic file in MS Word (document protected) are required. Please ensure that the essay in-cludes the author’s name, entity address, phone number, email and a signed statement giving un-restricted publishing rights to FAPPO. Essay entries must be mailed to Carrie Woodell, FAPPO President, 401 South Park Avenue, Win-ter Park, FL 32789-4386 and postmarked on or before March 4, 2013. Please email any questions to Carrie Woodell at [email protected]. Essays will be judged by the current FAPPO Officers based on originality, message/content focus, clarity and grammar. The winner and runners-up will be announced at the 46th Annual FAPPO Conference, May 19-22, 2013 in Daytona Beach, FL. The winning author will receive $300 in FAPPO Bucks; runner ups will receive $25.00 in FAPPO Bucks; either may be used to defray the costs for registration and lodging during next year’s conference. Good Luck!
