What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Recognition of the value of our profession and the contribution we make. As a Fellow, I am privileged to be part of a unique community. I use that to encourage and foster connections and dialogue with other professional organizations and those seeking to move the dial on performance.

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

The people you meet there. A presentation on how the London 2012 Olympics bid was won: how the team engaged with stakeholders and offered a vision that went beyond compliance and value issues and connected emotionally with decision-makers.

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

Seek out those who look for truth. Shun those who have found it.

I love that my high scores in English and grammar from grade school finally paid off! I understand where I fit in professionally with a career that is rewarding on many levels. I owe all of this to APMP!

You can expand your network by attending the local Chapter webinar and events. They provide an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals locally to create and share consumable content, ideas, tools, and resources.

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.

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.

I would advise new professionals to take advantage of the resources that APMP offers. Not only do you have access to conferences and seminars through your chapter, but the free webinars and the robust network of professionals are great benefits that can help advance one’s career.

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.

Sarah Chapman, CP ES-M APMP

Acquiring the executive summary micro certification has helped to build my confidence in producing best practice Executive Summaries. I also benefit from the social media badge for my LinkedIn profile and certification to add to my resume. Both of these allow me to verify my Executive Summary capabilities.

Laura Rispin, CP ES-M APMP

Acquiring this micro-certification allows me to expand my aperture regarding the collaboration between capture and proposal management to develop more robust, customer-centric Executive Summaries for future pursuits. It allows me to advance my skill set, evolve my knowledge, and reflect my commitment to continuous learning.
