I like to see the proposal team taking a lead on these kinds of activities. It helps us because we are always on the asking end of the conversation, so it’s nice to be on the other end for a change.

She barely alluded to the biggest event which has outlived my tenure at 3 companies: The annual Halloween Chili Cookoff.
