<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=727490500-20032008>Dear UCR colleagues:
The Southern California chapter of the Association of Proposal Management
Professionals (APMP) will present a talk by Dr. Tom Sant, an APMP Fellow and
author of books including <EM>Persuasive Business Proposals</EM> and <EM>The
Language of Success</EM>, on Thursday evening, April 17. The meeting is free to
members (me) and guests (you), and we usually serve pizza on elegant paper
plates. I have heard Tom speak a couple of times, and I am a big fan of his
books. I am sure that it will be a well-spent hour or
two.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=727490500-20032008>Information on Tom
Sant and his talk is available on our web site, <A
href="http://www.socal-apmp.org">www.socal-apmp.org</A> (click on the
Calendar link). We present our meetings as webcasts with multiple venues around
Southern California. The closest regular venue to Riverside is at ESRI in
Redlands. However, if we have a lot of UCR people interested in this talk, I can
see about getting a venue on campus or at CE-CERT (where parking is free). We
will figure that out within a couple of weeks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=727490500-20032008>If you can't get
enough of this proposal stuff, I should also point out that APMP's international
conference this year will be right here in Riverside County -- Rancho Mirage,
May 27-30. You can find information about that on our web site, too.
