The APMP Australia New Zealand (ANZ) Chapter is now calling for nominations to serve on the committee for 2021. Positions are generally for a one year term. Being on the committee provides networking and professional development opportunities and allows you to take an active role in advancing the proposal profession.
Preference will be given to nominees who have demonstrated active participation in APMP activities and will be an advocate for our association.
