January XX, 2024. Herndon, VA — NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement and ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability USA (ICLEI USA) agree to jointly develop and disseminate effective professional development opportunities for procurement professionals in the sustainability space and local government climate action professionals.

NIGP and ICLEI USA agreed to establish regular communication channels to ensure consistent messaging on joint activities.
