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 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.

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.
