SUPPLY CHAIN TRAINING PROVIDER WINS INNOVATIVE BUSINESS AWARD
MOON TOWNSHIP, PA – October 9, 2006 – Next Level Purchasing, Inc. earned recognition locally as the recipient of the
Innovative Business of the Year Award during the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce (PAACC) Celebration of
Excellence at The Club at Nevillewood on Thursday, September 28, 2006.
Next Level Purchasing was specifically recognized for its ability to implement technology and innovation that has resulted
in new growth and operational efficiency, since the company was founded six years ago with a mere $2,000 investment.
“Next Level Purchasing clearly exemplified the determination and energy that it takes to be an innovative leader in the
business community,” said Chamber president Sally Haas. “The Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber is proud to have them as a
member and mentor for other businesses.”

training program. While traditional corporate learning would have required an instructor to travel to each customer site,
online training has enabled Next Level Purchasing to train professionals from more than 50 countries without leaving the
office.
“We are honored to be recognized as the PAACC Innovative Business of the Year,” said Charles Dominick, SPSM, president of
Next Level Purchasing. “It is very gratifying to win this particular award in the key economic region of Pennsylvania that
the Chamber represents.”
