EDITOR'S LETTER
Welcome to the second ezine, your monthly newsletter from the IFPSM and its member associations.
Since the first edition in February, several more member associations have joined the club. Also, I am really pleased at the huge numbers of readers who are opening the email and clicking through to the website ifpsm-ezine.org
This month we again have eight articles looking at issues affecting buyers across the world. These include an examination of how the US financial stimulus package will impact our profession, an update on commodities pricing and what lies ahead in the world of business travel procurement.
You will also notice that from this month you will need a entry to a log in and password to enter our website. Your user login and password are above. This will ensure that as member of your local association you retain the member benefit of this service.
