Fall Symposium — September 26, 2003

"I personally wanted to congratulate each of you for planning and hosting a fantastic APMP seminar last Friday! It took a lot of hard work to arrange an event of this magnitude, and you did an outstanding job of showcasing the talents of the Valley of the Sun chapter. The "Real World" theme was very clever and the entire agenda was appropriate for all industries. Thanks for a very informative and enjoyable day!"

Georgianne Dussl, Proposal Manager, AdvancePCS (now Caremark)

Chapter Meeting at AdvancePCS — January 14, 2004

"Thanks for a very informative session last week. It was a pleasure to be in attendance. We learned alot from your presentation that we took back to our company for further review. I thought the entire presentation was very well done and informative. Hats off to all who were presenting! We look forward to seeing you again at the next meeting.

P.S. Thanks for the wonderful refreshments—they were awesome!"

Stacie Drake, Credit Management Control

"I just wanted to say thanks for letting me participate in yesterday's meeting. The web-based proposal presentation was very informative and interesting. It's really great to meet others in the proposal business and share ideas."

Jayme Majzel, ACS State and Local Solutions

"I want to compliment you on the outstanding meeting at AdvancePCS on January 14, 2004. The meeting was conducted in a professional manner and was full of energy and fun. The meeting was reminiscent of APMP National Conventions in quality and content. The approach was novel and enlightening and I certainly enjoyed myself as the time flew by. I gained information, laughed and exchanged ideas with others. I even got to know a few new people.

The up-front work by Carla Gubka, Elizabeth Busse, Carolyn Woisin, Patty MacDonald, Cara Miller and Georgianne Dussl paid off handsomely as the meeting appeared well coordinated, focused on the attending members and entertaining.

AdvancePCS should be proud of the effort as the meeting was the equivalent of a Regional or National seminar in its professionalism, courteousness, and execution. You have an outstanding, professional crew that put together an excellent program for the Chapter's benefit. This will be remembered as one of the truly great meetings in the Valley of the Sun Chapter's history. Congratulations, and my compliments. This will be an impossible act to follow!"
