2017 Wisconsin Arborist Association Sponsorship Program Levels of sponsorships for monetary support will be the following: $5000.00 – Gold Oak (Receives $2500.00 in credits) $3000.00 – Silver Oak (Receives $1500.00 in credits) $2000.00 – Bronze Oak (Receives $1000.00 in credits) Sponsors are listed and prominently displayed by sponsorship level in each of our quarterly newsletters, the membership directory, the website, every conference program, every conference mailer, and a banner or multiple banners displayed throughout our annual conference and other conferences. Sponsors will be given credits that can be used to purchase their choice of various sponsorship or advertising opportunities. The sponsors will be given the opportunity to select their sponsorships/ads in the preceding year, giving them priority selection. This will be done on a first come first served basis. In case registration forms come on the same day, the sponsorship chairman will call all parties involved to resolve the issue. If the parties cannot agree, a coin flip will be determined to see who gets the desired sponsorship. Any sponsor who does not use their credits in the calendar year will be given one extra year to use them or lose them. The sponsors will be able to use their credits in a variety of ways. They can be used to sponsor events at all three conferences or the Tree Climbing Championship. They may also be used to place ads in the membership directory or the quarterly newsletters. Sponsorship/advertising opportunities are listed below. Please indicate the level of sponsorship you choose, along with any sponsorship/advertising opportunities you are interested in at this time.
