EC Sponsorship Committee

Under the direction of Leslie Steele, Chair of the IAC Executive Committee, a new EC committee was established to create a dialogue around how IAC generates sponsorship dollars from events that are held such as the Executive Leadership Conference, the Management of Change Conference, or any IAC event where sponsor dollars are collected. The charter of the Sponsorship committee is; "Create a dialogue that will ensure that sponsors of all ACT/IAC events receive value for their sponsor dollars and that each sponsored event has the correct sponsor programs to meet the financial objectives of the event."
A call for volunteers was made to the membership to form an Membership Advisory Committee headed by Jim Beaupre, EC Vice Chair At-large and Janine Gray of CSC. The purpose of the advisory committee is to enlist ideas, comments and suggestions to better ways to ensure value to our sponsors. In our first meeting there have been numerous suggestions including combining all individual event sponsorships to a combined year long effort in order that member companies will not be called from all the individual events but a more coordinated sponsorship program that is company oriented instead of event oriented. We welcome any ideas, suggestions from the memebership. If you have any interest in supporting this effort we are still seeking Advisory Committee members to serve a one year effort on sponsorships. Thanks!
