What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

It is an honor and a privilege to be an APMP Fellow.

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

Too many to cite. Networking and mentoring, meeting people new to the profession, and helping them on their journey.

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

These skills provide a foundation that can take you in many directions. It is a path to your passions.

Certification has enhanced my worth as a bid professional. It has validated the skills and experience I have and is proof of my bid management qualities and capabilities. It has given me a springboard to develop my career and aim for Professional certification.

Aynsley Davidson, CP APMP

APMP has been instrumental in my success and has given me a framework in which to coach and mentor the bid and proposal stars of the future.

Ceri Mescall, CPP APMP

APMP certification is the gold standard for the industry. For me, accreditation is formal recognition of my commitment to the profession, as well as an avenue for improving my performance and bid outcomes by training in APMP principles.

Ailsa Tuck, CP APMP

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.

Dénes Máthé, CF ES-M APMP

The time was a good investment, and I expect to reap benefits now and in the future!

Kelly Erickson, CF APMP

The certifications, starting from the foundation to the professional level, help individuals from diverse timeframes in their careers.

Mayura Ravishankar, Proposal Associate

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.
