Enjoying the sights and sounds of downtown New Orleans with my APMP crew!

Participate in your local Chapter on a committee or as a Board member. You will make lasting professional and personal relationships of great value, while also giving back to the community.

As a sales coach, the executive summary is vital for capturing and proposing management activities. This is an excellent addition to our members' professional standing, and I look forward to many more micro certifications.

Without APMP, I would not have the tools or knowledge of the industry to have the career I have today and the success I have experienced.

I never want to be complacent in my career, so it has been beneficial to have this group of peers who are going through similar trials and tribulations in the proposal world on a day-to-day basis.

APMP has changed my professional life, elevating it to a standard that I didn’t know existed. Aside from the professional advantages of being certified as an APMP Professional, it’s the community of members who make it so special.

The Executive Summaries Micro-Certification exam was easy to follow and clear in what was required. I found the learning materials to be very informative, and they will be a great tool to use while in the exam and for future executive summary tasks.
