What does being an APMP Fellow mean to you?

Being an APMP Fellow is a great honor because my colleagues are so talented and accomplished.

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

The opportunity to meet so many bright and successful proposal professionals and to learn from them.

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

Argue as if you are absolutely right, and listen as if you are absolutely wrong.

Proposal development is an exciting and rewarding field, and I enjoy working with a wide variety of people from around the world.

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.

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.

The Executive Summaries Micro-Certification exam was easy to follow and clear in what was required. I found the learning materials to be very informative, and they will be a great tool to use while in the exam and for future executive summary tasks.
