Proposal Writing: A Strategic Skill for Technical Communicators

Sooner or later, you will probably have to write a proposal, whether it’s for an internal capital expenditure, a sales contract, a government or institutional contract, or a nonprofit grant request. Are you ready for that?

It takes skill to write proposals that get noticed and get funded. Fortunately, you can learn these skills. Join us on December 10 at the Indiana Wesleyan Dayton Education Center., where you can add another arrow to your quiver of capabilities.

We will hear from Shipley Associates’ Mo Morrison about a proven process for developing winning proposals that meet the evaluation criteria. Shipley Associates specializes in customer-focused writing, essential for anyone who writes business or technical documents.

David “Mo” Morrison currently focuses on providing training to companies of all sizes to help them increase their share of federal government business. He previously worked with Logistics Specialties Inc., the parent company of Shipley Associates, providing business development consulting services. Mr. Morrison retired from the US Air Force after 23 years developing simulations and handling acquisitions, logistics support, and academic instruction.
