Introducing a New Level of Certification:
Certified Technology Procurement Specialist (CTPS)

Effective June 1, 2006 Caucus, the Association for Technology Procurement Professionals, introduced a new level of certification— Certified Technology Procurement Specialist (CTPS)—for individuals specializing in technology procurement with a focus on vendor/contract management.  This new program, which allows individuals in intermediate-level procurement positions to achieve professional certification, provides a path to a higher level of achievement and professional recognition.
