The battlefield of competitive business is changing, and we must change with it to win consistently. Our markets shrink. We are asked to do more with fewer resources, and competition has increased dramatically.As our local membership continues to grow in line with the international Association of Proposal Management Professionals, we have a greater opportunity to collaborate and share the knowledge that breeds excellence.
