Membership Information

Our primary objectives are to improve your individual skills through professional development and education, and to provide an environment for the exchange of information and ideas with your professional peers. Some of the ways we accomplish these objectives are dinner meetings, workshops, seminars, a monthly newsletter, and a job referral service serving our members.

Annual dues for a Regular membership are $250, which includes membership in the National Association of Purchasing Management.

Associate memberships are also available. Annual dues for an Associate member are $210. Please note that a company must be represented by at least one regular member for an associate membership to be approved.

In addition, new Regular and Associate members need to include an additional $20 Administrative Fee (Regular) / Initiation Fee (Affiliate) with their initial application.

Annual dues for Student memberships are $60. Proof of enrollment in 12 units of college coursework.

Our regular dinner meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, with the exceptions of July and December, at the Orange County Airport Hilton, 18800 MacArthur Blvd., Irvine. The price for each dinner is $25 for guests, non-members and members that do not make a reservation at least 72 hours before the meeting. Members that make those early reservations pay only $20.

At each dinner meeting we offer a topical dinner speaker, whose topics often will address purchasing and materials management subjects, as well as ample opportunity for networking and the exchange of ideas among your peers. Dinner begins at 6:30 P.M. The meeting adjourns promptly at 8:45 P.M.

We look forward to having you join our association. If you have any questions please contact us.
