Helping Members Shine With a Virtual Office Contest

These types of things can relieve stress during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered many landscapes, including how and where Americans work. A large portion of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals’ (APMP) 10,000 members already work from home, so, mindful of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, APMP thought it was time to lighten the mood a bit after weeks of dire, stressful news.

They’re doing that with the “Show Us Your Virtual Office Contest.” APMP CEO Rick Harris said it’s a good way to both showcase their members and help people who might be struggling with the transition to a work-at-home environment.

APMP members respond to government and commercial requests for proposals.

Harris said the contest “lets us take a pause and reflect back on the member and make a star out of them.”
