So . . . What is NAPM-LV and who are Ellery T. Royal and Carl F. Zipf?

The National Association of Purchasing Management of the Lehigh Valley, Inc. (NAPM-LV) is a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities to support the Supply Management profession and to expand and make available the required professional knowledge and skills. Since 1976, NAPM-LV’s “Carl F. Zipf Scholarship Fund” has awarded scholarships worth over $100,000 to individuals in the community who pursued higher education within the Supply Chain Management field.  For 24 years, NAPM-LV has sponsored the “Ellery T. Royal Memorial Golf Tournament” to help fund these scholarships. As a member of the board of directors in 1974, Carl F. Zipf requested the Board to consider a scholarship program for college students of the Lehigh Valley.  He established guidelines for the program but did not live to see the program implemented.  Upon his untimely passing in 1976, the association named the scholarship program in his honor. The first five scholarships of $500 each were awarded in his memory in 1976. Ellery T. Royal began his purchasing career in 1956 in MA; but ten years later, he took a position as Director of Purchasing for the City of Bethlehem, which he held for 21 years. Ellery joined NAPM-LV in the early 1970s, served on the Board of Directors, was elected president in 1975 and 1976, and received the distinguished service award in 1981.   After his untimely passing in 1987, NAPM-LV honored him by naming the golf tournament in his memory.
