Sponsorship Committee
Chair: Sean Twomey
Purpose
Make recognition and stewardship of existing sponsors our number one priority. Review sponsorship packages and offerings with an eye towards developing new opportunities and strengthening relationships.
Brief Description of Activities
Implement existing sponsor benefits and recognition plan. Thank sponsors with at least an annual personal phone call or email, e.g., after the PG Day Conference. Stewardship activities include interviewing sponsors for our “Sponsor Spotlight” recognition series and seeking input through sponsor surveys. Solicit sponsors annually. Develop new and innovative sponsorship opportunities with an eye towards enhancing benefits and recognition throughout the year. Recruit new sponsors. Encourage sponsors to become members or speakers. Institutionalize the process for soliciting sponsorships to capture best practices and formalize past fundraising practices.
