Meet Your People

Connect with others in your chapter. Select any APMP chapter when you join - some host in-person events, some host virtual events, and some host both. Some offer weekly e-newsletters, scholarships (for APMP certifications and event registrations), and more. See a list and descriptions of our chapters

Attend APMP events to network both professionally and personally. Throughout the year, at multiple Bid & Proposal Cons and chapter-produced events, we witness significant connections between people who would've never met outside of APMP. Survey comments consistently report "the people I meet" as one of the top reasons they attend APMP events. Members enjoy discounted registration fees and advanced notice to take advantage of Early Bird rates.

Develop Your Career

Verify your knowledge and skills for your employer and yourself. APMP certification validates that you understand industry best practices, and for many members, it positively impacts their salary and/or organizational level in their company. Regardless, learning is often inherent with the preparation to earn each level of certification, so you'll likely pick up a few new tools along the way, too.

Be ready for your next Performance Review. Compensation reports from APMP provide current data directly from your peers and colleagues in this industry. The 2022 U.S. Compensation Report will be released before the end of the year. All are free to APMP members.

 

Enhance Your Skills

Ever get stuck on a proposal? Pick up some quick nuggets of advice. The searchable APMP Body of Knowledge contains a wealth of best practices, tips, and tools to help you move forward. It is entirely online, mobile friendly, and available 24/7/365. Free to APMP members.

Spend an hour with the best in the industry; experience their insight without leaving your office. About once per month, APMP offers a webinar about a relevant, popular topic presented by the industry's top speakers. After each live event, recordings are added to the archives and available for viewing at your convenience. Free to APMP members.

Learn something new, or be reminded of some practices you may have forgotten. Written for proposal people in the business/commercial sector (but just as valuable to people in the government sector), Writing Business Bids & Proposals for dummies has received positive reviews from both newbies and industry veterans.

I would advise new professionals to take advantage of the resources that APMP offers. Not only do you have access to conferences and seminars through your chapter, but the free webinars and the robust network of professionals are great benefits that can help advance one’s career.

APMP certification is the gold standard for the industry. For me, accreditation is formal recognition of my commitment to the profession, as well as an avenue for improving my performance and bid outcomes by training in APMP principles.

This topic, Executive Summaries, is way underrated. The Executive Summary is the most eye-catching document, which almost everyone on the customer side reads. Yet, in most bid teams, we don’t dedicate the attention it deserves. I want to learn about something I can immediately put into practice at my workplace, which provides a “quick win” to the team and is a long-term benefit for the company.

Certification has enhanced my worth as a bid professional. It has validated the skills and experience I have and is proof of my bid management qualities and capabilities. It has given me a springboard to develop my career and aim for Professional certification.

The Executive Summary is the key element of each proposal, literally the most important part of the response next to the price – this is why my focus was on this micro certification. Understanding the principles of Deal-Strategy, Win-Strategy, Competitor-Analysis, Ghosting, Persuasive Writing, Features/Benefits/Discriminators, and many more is essential and beneficial for so much more than just the Executive Summary.

Without APMP, I would not have the tools or knowledge of the industry to have the career I have today and the success I have experienced.
