What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Being an APMP Fellow is a great honor because my colleagues are so talented and accomplished.

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

The opportunity to meet so many bright and successful proposal professionals and to learn from them.

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

Argue as if you are absolutely right, and listen as if you are absolutely wrong.

Anything else you would like to share?

Proposal development is an exciting and rewarding field, and I enjoy working with a wide variety of people from around the world.

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.

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.
