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.
