For a number of years, CPPC has had a Canadian voice at the Board of Examiners (BOE) table with representatives participating in both the CPPO and CPPB Teams. These positions provide advice to the UPPCC board of directors on content quality, relevance and consistency of the UPPCC exams and provide expertise in the evaluation of and decisions made on matters relating to examination and certification. To help you decide if this is for you, take a look at the current position description for the BOE (insert link to the pdf document)

In June of 2020, CPPC became an official UPPCC partner formalizing a long-standing relationship. This partnership solidifies CPPC’s support of further education in the public procurement profession through CPPO and CPPB certifications.

CPPC is currently seeking nominations from interested and qualified individuals to fill one English and one Bilingual seat on the UPPCC Board of Examiners (BOE) for the CPPB Team. The successful candidates will represent CPPC on the UPPCC BOE for a three-year term and will be required to report regularly to the CPPC Board of Directors.

CPPC promotes open, fair and transparent procurement and therefore requires that successful candidates practice the same philosophy and conduct themselves accordingly while on the BOE as the CPPC representative.

As outlined in the application form please note:

UPPCC does not offer reimbursement for members of the BOE.  Travel expenses to an in‐person meeting of the BOE is the responsibility of each BOE member. The individual member’s employer or the sponsoring organization will often cover the expense for the individual member to attend; however, it is the responsibility of the individual member to make that determination prior to submitting an application for a position or to submitting an application for a position with the UPPCC.

In this case CPPC would be the sponsoring organization and may cover expenses that the BOE member’s employer will not.

All application forms must be submitted by October 30, 2020 to CPPC.

A complete submission includes:

Application Form

UPPCC Conflict of interest policy

Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form

Confidentiality Policy Agreement

All submissions will be reviewed by the CPPC Selection Committee.
