FINALS SPONSORSHIP - Sponsors are very important to the ongoing operation of our Association. We are looking to obtain sponsors to help cover the cost of our upcoming finals and year end Awards. We have developed a sponsorship letter and a tiering of levels that sponsors can sign up for. We are asking that all members send out a minimum of three (3) letters to companies and/or individuals to attempt to obtain sponsorship. Here are some of the guidelines while trying to sell the sponsorships. A sample letter and form can be viewed by clicking on the link. Please personalize the letter for the potential sponsors you are sending this to. Please send Chris Johnson the names/addresses of the potential sponsors that you send requests to so that we will have the information for any funds that are received.
