Upcoming Chapter Workshop and Monthly Luncheon
Friday, June 1, 2012
Doubletree Hotel - Hazard Center 

Adding Power to Your Corporate Sponsorship Proposal

Workshop - 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Speaker: Parker Pike MS, MBA, APR, Marketing Manager, UCSD Extension 

 

Whether it's additional revenue for key programs, events or ongoing support...learn the "new rules" for corporate sponsorship

Understand trends on corporate philanthropy and how your nonprofit can join an elite group to be in the top 5% of all corporate proposals.  Your corporate “ask” is the LAST step on a short list of necessities before you approach a company.  It’s much more than reading their guidelines, as proposals are much more sophisticated today and focused on understanding corporate DNA. 

 

Luncheon - 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Moderator: Parker Pike MS, MBA, APR, Marketing Manager, UCSD Extension 

Panelists: Jennifer Love Bruce, Associate VP of Community Relations, Bridgepoint Education

Shreya Shah Sasaki, MPH, Senior Community Benefit Manager, Kaiser Permanente

Kathy Patoff, Vice President, Community Development Manager, Union Bank

Jack Toan, Regional Vice President, Wells Fargo Foundation

What do corporations really want to see in sponsorship proposals?  What gets the attention of a decision maker in a corporation and what turns them off completely?  Attend the luncheon and hear our panel of experts talk about the best practices of securing corporate sponsorships.  This program is geared toward all organizations who seek corporate sponsorships throughout the year.
