What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Recognition in, and contribution to, the industry.

What's your best memory from attending an APMP event?

The friendships formed.

What advice do you have for a proposal professional entering our field?

If you love winning, writing, and shaping the fortunes of organizations, this is the career for you. It's as close to the competitive sport as you can get in business. Be passionate, yearn for knowledge, and back your judgment.

 

This was my first APMP event, and I was wholly impressed. The energy in the room reignited my passion for this industry, and I can't wait to get back to my team to implement what I have learned.

This topic, Executive Summaries, is way underrated. The Executive Summary is the most eye-catching document, which almost everyone on the customer side reads. Yet, in most bid teams, we don’t dedicate the attention it deserves. I want to learn about something I can immediately put into practice at my workplace, which provides a “quick win” to the team and is a long-term benefit for the company.

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.

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.

For the first time since I started my career, I felt like I was not alone in my struggles to meet deadlines, wrangle SMEs, and answer impossible questions. I’m grateful to have this community to share our wisdom and experiences.

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.
