Professional Associations

In 1989, Shipley recognized the need for a professional association that focused on proposal management. Shipley invested in the establishment of a non-profit association, the Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP). Several thousand members and dozens of regional chapters around the globe now support the proposal profession through conferences, certification programs, a body of knowledge, and a business development community of practice. Shipley remains a Platinum Sponsor of APMP, is a Global Corporate Member, and is one of only a few Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) offering continuing education credits to certified members.

"I want to pass on to you how impressed I've been with the performance of [Shipley]. You have done a great job supporting us in our journey to transform [our] business development and proposal process. This is a difficult undertaking in any company, but the complexity increases tremendously when it involves a U.S. subsidiary of a global company. Despite the challenges, Shipley excelled!"
