by Susan Kimmel
"Hello loyal readers! Thanks for tuning in again to your monthly MISBO Fun with Purchasing Blog post! This month, we will dive into the mysterious connections between sports, independent schools, and cooperative purchasing. While at first glance it may appear these three things don't have anything in common, I challenge you to read on and see how much we are the same!"
Updated Buyer's Guide
A school’s purchasing program should be grounded in the tenets of the school’s mission and values. For over 40 years MISBO has built the most complete consortium that exists with a foundation dedicated exclusively to independent schools. Through this network, we continue the tradition of finding solutions to today’s problems and anticipating tomorrow’s needs.
