Professional Resources
The Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) is the worldwide organization that brings together “…professionals dedicated to the process of winning business through proposals, bids, tenders, and presentations.”
APMP provides professional certification, continuing education, and advocacy for the industry. Attending webinars, the APMP-Greater Midwest Chapter Symposium, APMP Bid & Proposal Con and certification workshops helped hone my experience into a craft.
I joined ACES years ago because I was looking for something to support my passion for effective communication. In addition to the annual conference, their continuing education offerings include webinars, certification, and boot camps.
