"When I transferred to St. Charles School for my eighth grade year, it was in the hopes that I would get more out of my school experience. This has happened and more. Right away, from my first day at St. Charles...."

Vendor Savings Program

NEW!  The February 2011 Vendor Savings Newsletter is now available.

 What is it?
The Catholic Education Collaborative offers our Partners special savings through our Vendor Savings Program.  For a complete list of our Current VSP Programs, as well as VSP Programs Out to Bid, please explore each respective tab on the lefthand side of this page.

How does it work?
The Collaborative, in consultation with parish business managers, discerns the need and then negotiates special pricing contracts on behalf of the participating Partners, bringing cost savings through aggregated purchasing power.

The CEC has retained Strategic Leadership Associates, Inc. as Program Manager for the Vendor Savings Program. Any program specific questions can be directed to Michael Sticka by either emailing or calling 937.252.2342.

 If you would like to join the Catholic Education Collaborative Vendor Savings Program, please email Anne Battes or call 937-223-1331.

The Catholic Education Collaborative is a fantastic resource for St. Charles parish and school. As the business manager I directly see the many financial and logistical benefits of the Collaborative. The Collaborative enables all of its Partners to have group purchasing and negotiating power.

This has saved us not only thousands of dollars, but also much of my time as an administrator, allowing me to focus on other critical issues at the parish. Keep up the good work Catholic Education Collaborative!
