At the request of many Associate members who wish to include Association sponsorship opportunities in their budgets, we have listed below costs for the major annual events. From time to time additional programs will be added to the calendar that invite sponsors. Additionally, we have included trade show booth expenses as well. These prices are meant to serve as a guide only. Sponsorship opportunities are filled on a first come first serve basis. Signage is included. Sponsorships also include an announcement from the dais drawing attention to your commitment and your membership, and publication of your firm name and logo in the program. Contact
Annie Coldstream or
Meghan McCarthy for additional information.
