What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Community. Colleagues. Professional acknowledgment and support.

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

Many great memories over many years include meeting (and learning from) Dick Eassom’s alter-ego “Wordman”; sipping Gruet champagne at a winery in Albuquerque, NM, with Charlie Divine and Neil Cobb; winning a small jackpot at a casino outside the New Orleans convention--and having the discipline to walk away with the winnings; participating in early certification concept discussions with the national board of directors; being entertained by brilliant presentation duo of BJ Lownie and Jon Williams; hearing multiple insider stories about novelistic proposal wins; or hitch-hiking home from a Monterey, CA conference--not in a car, but in Steve Myers’ business jet. Who could pick a favorite from memories such as these?

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

If you really like proposals, go all in--full emersion--100% commit to learning everything you can. It's not an easy profession, but it can give great rewards. If you can't commit, seek something else.

 Anything else you would like to add?

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. (One man's recipe for a happy life.)

APMP has changed my professional life, elevating it to a standard that I didn’t know existed. Aside from the professional advantages of being certified as an APMP Professional, it’s the community of members who make it so special.
