ACTE 2001 Sponsorship Programme

Overview

Program Highlights

The 2001 Sponsorship Program will not only increase your exposure to our membership and enhance the value of your investment
but also provide continued support to the educational and development initiatives of ACTE. The 2001 program has incorporated
several new features:

  • Special recognition for sponsors who provide a significant level of annual support to ACTE. Our new Sponsor Recognition
    Program provides new opportunities for exposure to the ACTE membership in addition to those gained through conference
    and forum sponsorship. Credit toward Special Sponsor Recognition Program levels includes all sponsor support provide
    through advertising, event sponsorships and grant-like contributions.
  • Enhanced forum sponsorship program including new levels of exposure and complimentary registrations for sponsors and
    corporate non-member guests.
  • Sponsor support for ACTE strategic development initiatives. 20% of every sponsorship dollar will be designated to fund
    ACTE's top strategic initiatives. These include:
    • Website development, including interactive education capabilities.
    • Membership surveys and interactive communications.
    • Development and expansion of ACTE regions (i.e., Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East/ Africa)
    • New product development (i.e., benchmarking, best practice resource libraries)
    In addition, sponsors may elect to make a grant-like contribution to support both the educational fund and the strategic
    initiative fund. Grant funds received will count toward the Special Sponsor Recognition Program.
Your sponsorship continues to play a major role in supporting the high quality educational conferences and forums and the
invaluable networking opportunities for all ACTE members.
