NAPM Quad Cities provides a diverse, open forum to the supply management profession for education, networking and professional growth through dynamic interaction with our membership, employers, supply bases, and communities. We will be a recognized leader for promoting the supply management profession.
As a nonprofit organization, the purpose is to assist those in the supply management chain to better prepare for the future, by providing national and international leadership in areas of education, research, and standards of excellence. NAPM-QC is a social as well as educational association that performs community projects. Through this society, members will become better informed of new developments and ideas
