2022: Quality Partners & Program Enhancements
|
Dear Members,
We are proud to provide 35 purchasing programs in our savings portfolio that offer unique benefits, services, products, and resources for over 1,500 members statewide. Over the next 12 months, our goal is to continue to strengthen the quality and breadth of our portfolio by vetting a wider variety of programs that will help drive life science innovation.
Our success will be measured in three ways:
Capability | We will ensure our endorsed suppliers deliver products and services in a timely, dependable manner that support business continuity for all.
Commitment | We will continually evaluate the competitiveness of our savings portfolio so that members in all regions have access to best-in-class programs that are unique, compelling, and valuable.
Collaboration | We will foster deeper, more meaningful relationships to better understand the goals, challenges, and needs of our partners and members.
We are very excited for all that 2022 has in store for the Purchasing Group and our members. I look forward to seeing more of you at upcoming events and accelerating life science, together.
Sincerely,

Greg Giandomenico
VP & Managing Director, Biocom California Purchasing Group
