		<description>Great poll.  One organization that attempted to bring together the discipline of procurement with strategic relationship management is the Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals (ASAP - www.strategic-alliances.org).  It has gone through some significant changes since 1999 (when I first met them while working in Silicon Valley).  I&#039;d love 360 Vendor Management&#039;s view on whether ASAP provides specific value add in the context of outsourcing relationship management.

Best,
Mark</description>
