Join the APMP PNW Chapter for a February Happy Hour in Bellevue!
Connect with fellow professionals over drinks and casual bites at a local Mexican grill in Bellevue. This informal happy hour is a great opportunity to expand your network, share ideas, and build community in a relaxed setting. All are welcome—come mingle, unwind, and kick off the year with the PNW Chapter.
Mentorship doesn’t have to be awkward, formal, or time-consuming to be transformative. Lunch & Learn where two proposal professionals share how a simple mentor-mentee connection evolved into real career growth—for both sides.
🎯 From Proposal Pals to Proposal Pros: A Mentoring Story
This session goes beyond theory and dives into what actually worked:
• How informal mentoring can still be structured and purposeful
• Why clear goals matter more than rigid programs
• How mentorship benefits both mentor and mentee
• How to make it realistic with small, meaningful time commitments
You’ll hear directly from:
✨ Stef Plebanek CF APMP, Manager of the Proposal Team at KinderCare
✨ Tommy Tran, Proposal Manager in the telecommunications industry
Whether you’re early in your proposal career, leading a team, or thinking about becoming a mentor—this conversation will leave you inspired and equipped to build mentoring relationships that stick.
