Vice President Worldwide is a time to commemorate Mega Awards, buyers, suppliers, advocates and buying entities
Procurement & Logistics whose best practices and results stand out. But, more importantly, it is a time to revel in our
Texas Instruments accomplishments and our passion for an element of our work that truly is helping to change
the lives of people within our community and our nation. Believe it or not, this is the 15th
Mark Artigues official year since we first branded this event as the E Awards. In 2001, though, our awards gala
Senior Director-Supplier Diversity needed to really say what it was about — achieving EXCELLENCE!
