February 13: Meeting Sponsorship opportunities
Effective immediately we are soliciting sponsorship for our monthly meetings. The purpose of this is twofold:

Vendors, solution providers, and any other interested parties may purchase a meeting sponsorship for a nominal fee and receive the following:
* Company logo and information added to that month's chapter newsletter.
* Company logo and information added to the chapter website
* Opportunity to conduct a short presentation immediately prior to the monthly meeting
* Opportunity to set up a display with products, literature, etc. at the monthly meeting

course)
