APMP Call for Topics for 2010 conference

APMP invites your ideas for presentations at the 21st annual APMP Conference and Exhibits, June 1-4, 2010, at the Walt Disney World Dolphin in Orlando, Florida. Please see the News page for details. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2009.

See us on LinkedIn and Facebook

We now have APMP SoCal groups on Facebook and LinkedIn – if you are registered on either of these networks, please join the APMP SoCal group to show your support. This is one of several outreach efforts, however the most effective outreach method we have is YOU – your personal referral, or better yet please bring a colleague to our next meeting. Our thanks go out to Robert Bunnett for getting us up and running on the networking sites.

What's so funny? Send us your cartoons

Ruth Belanger is compiling a collection of cartoons about proposals, which she will share at an upcoming meeting. We all have them, hanging on our walls, taped to our keyboards, pinned to the bulletin board in the copy room. Scan yours and send it to Ruth (ruth.belanger@ngc.com), and she will share them with everyone at an upcoming meeting.

2009 meetings

Several dozen members and guests took part in a presentation on the place for peer review in the proposal process. You will find a summary on our News page, and a copy of Ruth Belanger's presentation on the Library page. We thank Northrop-Grumman, ESRI, SM&A, and Oracle for providing venues for the webcast meeting. Hylighter Inc. made a presentation on a new tool for proposal collaboration, and the company also provided the connectivity for the evening. Upcoming events are listed on our Calendar page.
