Hello,
My name is Ebony J. Chester and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President of the Washington DC Chapter of NIGP—an esteemed nonprofit organization and proud chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, Inc. (NIGP). Our chapter is comprised of dedicated public procurement professionals from across the Metropolitan Washington area, including the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, who share a common goal: to promote excellence, raise awareness, and elevate the integrity and prestige of our profession.
The DC Chapter is committed to providing members with the education, professional development, and technical resources necessary to support their continued growth and success. We strive to advance fair, transparent, and effective procurement practices that serve the public good.
Through our regular meetings and events, members have valuable opportunities to connect, collaborate, and exchange insights with one another and with distinguished professionals from a variety of sectors. These engagements strengthen our collective knowledge and enhance our impact in the communities we serve.
It is truly a privilege to lead this dynamic chapter, and I remain committed to serving our members and furthering the mission of the DC Chapter throughout the region.
With warm regards,
Ebony J. Chester, PMP CPCM
President, Washington DC Chapter – NIGP
