First, massive thanks goes to everyone that came, and especially our discussion leader Noah Salata at Goodman Center! Noah was kind enough to send his presentation deck as well as two examples of sponsorship handouts.
My biggest takeaways from the discussion were two words: clarity and specificity. Be able to describe your event and audience well enough to have an organization feel like they’re connecting with a particular group and activity. Know exactly what you’re offering to each organization and how they’ll be represented. Sending the same one-page document with sponsorship levels and details is expected, but being able to introduce that document with a clear ask from a friendly connection helps tremendously.
As a reminder, the next two meetings are:
- 6:30 at the Goodman Center’s Evjue Room, on Volunteer Coordination and Organization
- 6:00 at Breese Stevens Fields’ Forward Club room, on Logistics
