I had a chance today to catch up with Norma Hall, the Albert H. Hall Award recipient and get her reactions from Forum – take a look at the transcript below:
Last night you won the Albert H. Hall Award. What went through your mind when they called your name?
My first thought was this really can’t be happening to me. It’s such a wonderful award and there are so many people that impact someone’s life throughout their public procurement profession and to me the award shouldn’t just go to one person. It should go to all of those individuals that impact that person’s life.
What are your impressions of Forum so far?
It’s going very well. There has been a lot of activity pre-Forum with sessions and workshops and now that we are getting into the first day of full sessions, I think it’s going very well.
You just wrapped up a session on the value of certification presented by Ann Peshoff. What’s one thing you would like the audience to know about what it means to become certified and what’s the one core important piece one should know about being certified?
I think certification is that it shows the value of your profession and your desire to go that extra step and show people that you have what it takes to be a professional in your organization.
Is there anyone you would like to say hi to at home that couldn’t make it to Forum this year?
I’d like to say hi to all the people back at the Materials Management office and my family who I appreciate them supporting me so much.
Thanks for joining us, Norma and I hope you have a great Forum!
Thank you!
