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

Dinner with Charlie Divine, and maybe a dozen others in New Orleans a good few years ago, and hearing the story Charlie told about his old family recipe for chicken bone soup!! It kept those around the table laughing all night, and we still laugh about it. Good friends are my abiding memory of APMP events.

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

Today within APMP, there are so many people to take advice from or seek help from. Reach out to your local Chapter or someone you have met or heard of within the APMP to get that advice or help, and an added bonus is that you will make lifelong friends.

 

APMP has provided an incredible platform for seasoned individuals from the Proposal and Bid Management profession and young professionals who want to start their careers in this field.

My experience, combined with the APMP Body of Knowledge, helped me obtain both the APMP Foundation exam and the Practitioners exam within a week.

With this micro-certification and digital badge, I signal to my bid team and stakeholders that I am familiar with this topic. They can use me as their contact and "sparring partner," independent of RFPs.

As a sales coach, the executive summary is vital for capturing and proposing management activities. This is an excellent addition to our members' professional standing, and I look forward to many more micro certifications.

I never want to be complacent in my career, so it has been beneficial to have this group of peers who are going through similar trials and tribulations in the proposal world on a day-to-day basis.
