About KEPA
The Kentucky Educational Procurement Association (KEPA) is a professional organization dedicated to connecting and supporting procurement professionals at Kentucky's colleges and universities.
Our Mission
KEPA exists to promote the professional development of procurement personnel in Kentucky's higher education institutions. We provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, best practices, and resources that strengthen procurement across the Commonwealth.
