Who We Are and Who We Serve
The National Capital Area (NCA) Chapter
started in 1992 and now has more than 850 affiliated members—making it
the largest of APMP’s 25 chapters worldwide. Our members share a common
interest in learning the best approaches to winning government and commercial
business.

at the center of Federal Government business activity, NCA members are capture
and proposal management professionals working in the business corridor stretching
from New York City to Norfolk, Virginia.
Our chapter has repeatedly won APMP’s
Outstanding Chapter of the Year award.
Our individual members generally fall into
one of these broad categories:
- Industry: Company employees
- Consultants: Those who provide intellectual capital and knowledge-based services
- Vendors: Those who provide related products and services
- Associations: Members and staff of industry associations
- Government: Government procurement personnel
And center on these professional interest areas:
- Acquisition and Procurement
- Business Development
- Capture Management
- Proposal Management
- Competitive Intelligence
What We Stand For
As the largest chapter of the Association of Proposal Management
Professionals (APMP), we share and support our parent association’s mission:
“…To advance the arts, sciences, and technology of new business
acquisition and to promote the professionalism of those engaged in those pursuits.”
The NCA Chapter is committed to the idea that the most exciting challenges in
proposals require insights from many disciplines. The NCA chapter encourages
participation by a wide range of talent and experience, with members nurturing
new ideas and techniques.
How We Serve our Members
Our chapter holds a number of events
every year. Every other month, our Roundtable dinner meetings feature a timely
topic presented by an expert in the field. Look for our upcoming Roundtable topics
at http://www.apmpnca.org/events.html.
Every fall we put on
our biggest event of the year—the APMP-NCA Annual Conference.
Formerly known as Professional Day, this full-day networking and education event
focuses on the latest proposal and capture trends and techniques presented by
respected business development professionals. Participants are also encouraged
to stop and take time to look back at their accomplishments and focus on their
own career goals during the APMP-NCA Annual Conference experience.
Every spring we hold our Proposal Basics Boot Camp, a one-day a training event that covers the fundamentals of the proposal process and the tools and techniques that successful professionals use.
We also publish the Executive
Summary, our quarterly
electronic e-zine. It keeps our members up-to-date on chapter news and the
latest proposal intelligence in articles developed by our members. Back issues
of the Executive Summary and summaries of our education presentations
are on the Members Only page of our Web site.

chapter and is totally run by volunteers. Members of the board engage other volunteers
