24 Hour Company’s Colleen Jolly, AM, APMP, Coordinates APMP’s Proposal Graphics Special Interest Group (SIG)/Community of Interest (COI)

If you're interested in knowing more about bid and proposal graphics, join the Proposal Graphics Special Interest Group (SIG)/Community of Interest (COI)! This SIG)/COI, coordinated by Colleen Jolly, AM, APMP, 24 Hour Company partner and senior designer, is presently housed on the social networking site, www.pg-sig.ning.com. This platform allows people interested in proposal or information graphics the opportunity to easily exchange ideas, post inventive graphics and learn how to effectively develop and use visuals.

It is the goal of the SIG/COI to grow into a body that will eventually sponsor live meetings and Webinars. Even though the SIG/COI is endorsed by APMP and the National Capital Area and UK Chapters, you do not need to be an APMP member to join, and there are no dues to pay.
