Psalms M, Protege 2024
Participating in the APMP NCA Mentor-Protégé Program has been incredibly valuable. My mentor has supported me with challenging tasks, taught me useful skills, and offered an outside perspective that’s helped me adapt during the proposal process. Despite a 12-hour time difference, we meet regularly, and I highly recommend this program for professional growth.

Participating in the APMP NCA Mentor-Protégé Program has been incredibly rewarding. This year, my protégé has grown in confidence, networking skills, and Capture planning, and we plan to keep meeting after the program ends. Each mentoring experience has been fulfilling, and I’ve built lasting friendships with past protégés. I highly encourage others to join. – Cheryl H., 2024 participant

As a newcomer to Proposal Management, I joined the APMP Mentor-Protégé program to build a solid foundation and learn from experienced professionals. With my mentor’s guidance, I enhanced my skills, overcame challenges, and embraced work-life balance. This experience has fueled my growth and provided lasting connections and insights to support my career for years to come.

I joined the Mentor-Protégé Program at the perfect moment. Before learning about proposal development, I struggled to answer what I wanted to do professionally. Now, I can talk about proposal development with my mentor for hours. His advice helped me earn my Foundations Certification, secure my first official proposal development job, and become a stronger team contributor.

Evan Fitts, Protege 2019
I joined the Mentor-Protégé Program early in my proposal career, unsure of my long-term path. Thanks to the program and my mentor’s wise guidance, I gained the confidence and knowledge to shape my career and advance. Without this program, I wouldn’t be as happy or fulfilled in my proposal manager role as I am today — and to me, that’s a true success!

Being a Mentor in this program has been incredibly rewarding. Not only do you get to pay it forward, but you also learn and grow alongside your Protege. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a difference in the BD community.
