01 Our History

The SPA Story

SPA was born from a simple yet powerful thought: what can we do differently for the sourcing community? A group of experienced sourcing leaders came together with a shared vision — not to create another association, but to build a platform that gives back to the profession that has given so much to all of us.

Through seminars, webinars, open house meets, and round table meetings, SPA has grown into a vibrant platform for professional knowledge exchange and business growth.
