This week at NIGP Forum 2025 in Denver, I had the incredible honor of meeting one of my public procurement heroes โ the West Coast legend, mentor, thought leader, & G.O.A.T. himself: Mark B. Logan, MPA, NIGP-CPP, CPPO, C.P.M., CPPB, A.P.P. ๐๐ฅ๐
๐ Mark isnโt just a title-holder or resume rockstar โ heโs a living masterclass in what it means to lead with heart, humility, & high standards. His decades of experience across procurement, public works, education, & leadership have shaped thousands of professionals across the country ๐โ๏ธ. His voice echoes in every corner of our profession, & his example lights the way forward. ๐ฆ๐ฆ
๐ค Meeting Mark on the summit of the Rockies felt like more than networking โ it was a leadership alignment at one mile high, where purpose met practice, & passion met perseverance. It reminded me that when we sharpen each other, we ALL rise higher! โฐ๏ธ๐ก๐ผ.
๐ฌ Markโs impact goes far beyond contracts & compliance โ he empowers others, shares freely, & sets the standard for what procurement excellence looks like! He proves that being a procurement professional isnโt just a job โ itโs a calling!
๐From serving on the UPPCC Board of Examiners to shaping California public education procurement to mentoring the next generation โ Mark is a builder of legacies, not just systems. ๐๏ธ๐
๐ Thank you, Mark, for being the mentor we all deserve & the leader we all need. You walk the talk, raise the bar, & create new ladders for others to climb. It was a moment Iโll never forget โ a mile high & a mile deep in meaning. Letโs keep going, lifting others & transforming this field from the inside out!๐ฅ๐ฑ
Letโs celebrate the professionals who pour wisdom into others, who stand for ethics & value, & who never stop growing or giving back. ๐๏ธ๐ซถ
๐ธ See the moment we captured & never forget โ procurement at its peak!
