What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

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.
