How about recruiting corporate sponsors for MT Business Professionals of America?
It's easy…
- Contact a company that is not already a corporate sponsor and get them to agree to contribute for the 2011-2012 school year. There are four contribution levels (platinum, gold, silver, and bronze) each with corporate incentives.
- Complete the pledge form on following link. Please mail to Montana BPA, 310 11th Ave East, Polson, MT 59860
- Upon receipt of the contribution from the company, a chapter recruiting a corporate sponsor would receive 50% of the donation for the first and second year of the sponsorship and 25% for the third year continuing through the life of the sponsorship, if the chapter initiates and completes the sponsorship renewal each year.
This is a win-win situation…
The business is recognized at the state level for its support of Montana BPA. Your chapter receives a significant portion of the pledge/contribution for your effort. Montana BPA makes a contact and has the potential to continue the corporate sponsorship for years to come.
Why recruit corporate sponsors?
Besides the dues and state conference registration fees paid by the Montana BPA members, the only other source of income is from the financial support of corporate sponsors. As we build partnerships with Montana businesses, we hope to continue to improve the quality of our state conference and increase opportunities for BPA students. With additional corporate sponsors we could possibly invite top notch keynote speakers, increase the dollar amount or number of BPA scholarships awarded, offer more workshops, and more. If you start recruiting now, we could put the contributions to work for the 2011 State Leadership Conference!
Who to approach?
- Your chapter members’ places of employment.
- Companies that work in the business fields that BPA emphasizes in its co-curriculum.
- BPA Alumni… perhaps they have their own company or perhaps they would help you make the right contact at their places of employment.
With over 80 active BPA chapters and more than 1,500 BPA members in Montana, there could be a community or company, large or small that might be able to support BPA. with a monetary contribution if they were aware of the importance of Montana Business Professionals of America.
Be creative with your approach! Good luck and enjoy recruiting!
