Effective asset management helps schools and public agencies maintain facilities, extend the life of equipment, and make informed decisions about infrastructure and sustainability. Through cooperative purchasing, AEPA members can access tools that support these goals and streamline daily operations. This session will focus on the importance of asset management in the public sector, key practices for long-term planning, and how these approaches are making a positive impact in communities.

The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) is a multi-state non-profit organization made up of Educational Service Agencies and political subdivisions. AEPA is a true cooperative that serves to leverage purchasing power to benefit all schools and agencies, regardless of size, with the ability to purchase at equal buying levels.
