Southern California Chapter of the Association of Proposal Management
Professionals (APMP) invites you to a meeting beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday,
February 19, for two round-table discussions: cold-start proposals and the
differences between contract and grant proposals. (Most APMP members are
contracts people, not grants people, and they have some amusing ideas about the
differences.) The meeting is free to members and guests, and you all can be
guests.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

meetings are webcasts, with groups of participants logging in and dialing in
from several venues around Southern California. APMP’s Phoenix chapter will
join us in this meeting as well. The nearest venue to us is ESRI in Redlands,
about 10 miles from campus. However, if enough UCR people are interested, we could
establish a site here. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
