I have built a network drive full of boilerplate proposal material to use in bids; this was accomplished by researching past proposals. As the longest tenured proposal team member, I personally trained eight team members and assisted in training of four more team members as our proposal group went from two people to fourteen people. I participate in the team decision making process as to the content of the material that is inserted into the proposal. In this process, we define the problems, propose solutions, make assumptions and then apply risk analysis to each solution. I received a Recognition of Excellence Award in early 2013 for my outstanding performance in proposal development and teamwork for the Public Sector business, and I was placed in the “Leader” category for my 2012 performance appraisal. This category requires executive level approval.
