Summer Contracting, Procurement, and Operational Cost Community of Practice Call

  • Timezone : US/Mountain
  • Date : July 15, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

WICHE welcomes participation from institutions of higher education in the WICHE region (be they universities, community colleges, or associated state boards of higher education) in a community of practice focused on the rising operational costs of technology contracts. The Community of Practice aims to provide higher education procurement professionals with a forum to inform their work and explore joint purchasing opportunities through quarterly meetings focused on problem-solving, learning, and resource-sharing. We are looking for participants in the following roles: Chief Finance Officers (CFOs) and their staff, Chief Business Officers (CBOs) and their staff, and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) and their staff, Chief Learning Officers (CLO) and their staff, procurement officers, or risk managers. Because these are not traditional webinars (i.e. presentations of novel information, research, or panel discussions with subject matter experts), but rather engaged conversations with peers, we do not record the sessions. Summary notes are provided to all registrants following the call.
