Sponsorships
In 2011, SATW announced a new approach to sponsorship. Instead of just seeking sponsorship for the annual SATW convention, we are creating year-round partnerships with our supporters. This new approach gives our partners access to all of our members 365 days a year.
Our partnerships include advertising in our electronic publications including our weekly e-newsletter, our online quarterly newsletter the Traveler, and dedicated e-blasts to our members. SATW partners can receive advance copies of attendee lists for the annual SATW convention as well as regional chapter meetings, and some levels of support include the opportunity to register to attend these meetings as well.
The annual convention will continue to provide some excellent opportunities to get your name in front of our members through sponsorship of specific parts of the convention, signage, and other materials. We have opportunities to partner with you at many different levels. A summary of benefits is below or you can download it as a PDF here. For more information on how SATW can work with you, contact Executive Director Cindy Lemek at 414-359-1625 x. 1108 or clemek@satw.org.
