in full bloom: handpicking partnerships for you!
by Susan Kimmel
Happy Spring! Here in Georgia, we are gearing up for the great pine pollination. Even a moment outside leaves me with a nice yellow tint from the trees behind my home. As spring blooms and the world bursts with renewed energy, here in the MISBO Purchasing Consortium, we are carefully curating a collection of partnerships specifically for our members, independent schools. Like diligent gardeners carefully selecting the freshest blooms, we evaluate potential partners and review existing partners, seeking those who not only provide quality products AND cultivate an atmosphere of exceptional customer service.

The power of event management solutions
By Brad Hunter, OperationsHero
"November 5, 2024, will be a very important day in U.S. history. Voters in the United States will go to the polls to cast ballots in elections on the federal, state, and local levels—including for president and Congress—and, in doing so, will help decide the nation’s future. Even before then, voters will choose the party nominees through the primary and caucus contests that will get under way in early 2024."
