The Recovery Innovation Coordinator and Center of Excellence (RICCE), a program of the Democratic Training Institute, is partnering once again with the University of the Virgin Islands Center for Excellence in Leadership and Learning (UVI-CELL) to offer nonprofit professionals a free online workshop titled “Win the Procurement Process – Ensuring Compliance and Excellence.” The workshop will take place on Thursday, March 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. AST.
This practical workshop, conducted in English, is ideal for nonprofit leaders, grant managers, purchasing or procurement officers, finance and accounting personnel, and other staff involved in the procurement process. Executive Directors of nonprofits may also benefit from a high-level understanding of procurement compliance to enhance risk management oversight.

In this workshop, participants will learn to:
