APMP - Bid & Proposal Management

The Association for Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) is an internationally recognised association promoting best practice through a diverse range of disciplines within proposal and bid management. Their mission statement is:

"To advance the arts, sciences, and technology of new business acquisition and to promote the professionalism of those engaged in those pursuits."
