buyers: UO Reverse Vendor Fair - February 25th

[Lynne Harrell]

Sent on behalf of Scott Coltrane and Jamie Moffitt--


Dear Colleagues,

The University of Oregon is hosting its fourth UO Reverse Vendor Fair from 8 am to 1 pm on February 25, 2015 in the Club at Autzen Stadium. This event provides an opportunity for minority, women owned, emerging small business contractors, and other vendors to learn about contracting opportunities with the UO and other public agencies.

This important outreach event is designed to increase the community's knowledge about our purchasing processes, and send the message that the UO is indeed "Open for Business". We are enthusiastic about building on the success of the last three fairs; however our continued success is dependent upon having a high level of UO departmental participation.

We strongly encourage all departments to host a table and provide staff representatives at the Reverse Vendor Fair. Participation in this and similar events supports best business practices and diversity goals. This is an excellent opportunity for departments to meet new and existing vendors and to share information on their unit's needs.

Please visit the UO Reverse Vendor Fair information page<http://pcs.uoregon.edu/content/2015-university-oregon-reverse-vendor-fair> from for further details and to register your department's table and read more about the event on AroundtheO<http://around.uoregon.edu/content/pcs-helps-uo-departments-looking-vendors-become-better-community-partners>. You may also receive up to date announcements regarding the UO Reverse Vendor Fair on the Purchasing and Contracting Services' Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/events/667480666701387/> and Twitter page.
Thank you for your support! Please share this information with your staff and choose to be a part of this important event for the UO.

Regards,

Scott Coltrane
Interim President

Jamie Moffitt
Vice President for Finance and Administration
