EACUBO Thanks Its Corporate Sponsors

EACUBO Sponsorship Coordinator

We are pleased to report that support from our corporate sponsors continues to help EACUBO offer top quality programming events at reasonable costs.

Over the past year, several hundred letters were sent to, and follow-up contacts were made with, existing and potential sponsors. Sponsor support for the 2005 Annual Workshop in Philadelphia reached the highest level ever for this event. At this time, sponsor assistance for the 2005 Annual Meeting is being finalized with the assistance of MRA Services. Our upcoming Annual Meeting in Chicago provides EACUBO with the opportunity to recognize and thank new and existing sponsors for their assistance in helping to support all our major programming initiatives throughout 2005.

Sponsors support EACUBO programs both through monetary and in-kind contributions. There are five sponsor recognition giving levels: Bronze ($1,000 - $1,999); Silver ($2,000 - $4,999); Gold ($5,000 - $9,999); Platinum ($10,000 - $19,999); and Diamond ($20,000 and up). Each level of sponsorship provides a list of benefits that the sponsor receives at the respective program event along with appropriate recognition to highlight their support to program attendees. Annual sponsorship levels are based on a company’s overall contribution to EACUBO throughout the calendar year.

The EACUBO sponsorship program is a broad-based one that has been developed in collaboration with MRA Services which also coordinates our Exhibitor Program for each year’s Annual Meeting. EACUBO’s efforts focus on leveraging our institutional relationships with both existing and prospective new sponsors. MRA focuses on the full gamut of logical support including marketing sponsorship opportunities, finalizing sponsor contracts, collecting critical background information on sponsors, assigning sponsorships, and producing the sponsor recognition booklet.
Our work with MRA provides EACUBO with a comprehensive approach to our sponsorship development and management efforts.

As you speak with exhibitors and sponsors at the upcoming Annual Meeting in Chicago, please thank our sponsors for their continued support and take the time to learn about the many products and services they provide. Sponsor support plays a key role in the success of EACUBO because it enables us to continue to provide outstanding professional development opportunities.
