The Connecticut
Association of Purchasing Management, Inc. (known as CAPM) was founded March 21, 1918, at
a period when Purchasing was just beginning to be recognized as an important specialized
function in industry. CAPM promised to promote more efficient purchasing methods, to meet
the learning needs of the profession, and to promote friendly relations and interchange of
ideas among Purchasing people. It has been affiliated with the
Institute for Supply Managementtm
(ISM) since its inception. CAPM is one of 180 associations
affiliated with ISM.
Just as its name
implies, CAPM encompasses the entire state of Connecticut. At the present time, there are
nearly 600 individual members, representing approximately 400 Connecticut companies.
Membership is open to anyone directly involved in Supply Chain Management, at whatever
level; however, no one is admitted to membership if his primary responsibility is sales.
