Sid Brown OMV President, and Ed Reimann OMV 1st Vice President, presented OMV’s request to the NAPM District XI Council in Seattle and received their approval.

November, 1982

OMV’s direct affiliation request was approved by the NAPM (National) Board of Directors.

December, 1982

Ron Brown, C.P.M., NAPM District XI Vice President, presented the “Affiliated Association” certificate to our membership at our general membership meeting.
Since that time, OMV has seen many members pass through our organization and every one of us should be very proud to have contributed to their individual professional educational growth through sharing of experiences and networking.
To persevere and be successful for some twenty-five years, we have to be thankful to have had good strong leadership throughout our entire organization.
There are far too many people who have been responsible through the years for making this organization a vital educational association for the professional purchasing folks in this area and it would take too long to name all of them.
