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. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ›’

๐ŸŒŸ Mark isnโ€™t just a title-holder or resume rockstar โ€” heโ€™s 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 ๐ŸŒŽโœ๏ธ. His voice echoes in every corner of our profession, & his example lights the way forward. ๐Ÿ”ฆ๐Ÿšฆ

๐Ÿค 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! โ›ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ผ.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Markโ€™s 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 isnโ€™t just a job โ€” itโ€™s a calling!

๐Ÿ’ŽFrom 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. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ“˜

๐Ÿ™ 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 Iโ€™ll never forget โ€” a mile high & a mile deep in meaning. Letโ€™s keep going, lifting others & transforming this field from the inside out!๐Ÿ’ฅ๐ŸŒฑ

Letโ€™s celebrate the professionals who pour wisdom into others, who stand for ethics & value, & who never stop growing or giving back. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿ“ธ See the moment we captured & never forget โ€” procurement at its peak!
