Our mid-year General Membership meeting is scheduled in conjunction with the annual NUPIC Vendor Interface Committee Meeting held every June. The November meeting's emphasis is on Auditing Services activities including: training, internal auditing of the membership records, compliance issues, and the planning/scheduling process of subsupplier audits for the next calendar year.
