ISM - Houston is a Houston-based chapter of the Institute for Supply Management that concentrates on education and credentialing in supply chain management. Its origins date back to 1921, when a small group of purchasing agents established the Purchasing Agents Association of Houston at the Rice Hotel. Through the years, a succession of leaders—105 presidents—has guided the chapter, contributing to its standing as one of the largest and most active ISM chapters worldwide. The organization offers professional certifications, including the Certified Professional in Supply Chain Management and the Certified Professional in Supplier Diversity. Its primary audience comprises purchasing and supply chain professionals in the Houston area seeking credentialing and professional development. Operating within the education administration programs sector, ISM - Houston functions as a regional professional association with a small-to-mid-sized staff.
