Rick Grimm has served as NIGP’s Chief Executive Officer for 27 years. He served county governments and public school districts for 23 years, including over 12 years in the leadership of the public procurement function, before joining the NIGP team in 1998.
As NIGP continues to develop, support, and promote public procurement, Rick’s three most recently priorities are:
§ The competency-based Pathways program that guides professionals on their career aspirations through learning and credentialing options;
§ The NIGP Certified Procurement Professional designation (NIGP-CPP) with over 1,600 certificants to date and one of only two procurement programs to be accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board, and
§ NIGP’s Center for the Advancement of Research and Excellence (CARE) which represents a diversity of senior practitioners, academicians, business leaders, and association leaders who come together as an incubator think tank to discuss public procurement trends. The Center also commissions research that will intentionally impact content, standards, and best practices for the profession.
