Cultivating Great Sponsorship Relations

This Event is brought to you by

ATD Greater Atlanta’s new approach to sponsorships is to cultivate relationships by aligning programs and initiatives with the values and priorities of our members and sponsors. Businesses around the nation are facing budget cuts, reductions in force, and much more; which means that professional associations are going to experience change as well. These changes come in form of membership reduction, spikes in transitional members, increase requests for upskilling programs that require tools, resources and subject matter experts and organizational financial support for networking, engagement and building relationships.

Corporate sponsorship is one way to support and subsidize some of the direct and/or operational costs to continue to deliver quality programming, networking opportunities, professional development and upskilling for our members to be prepared for the workforce and the future of work.

Join us to discuss how your sponsorship can be a value add and win-win for You, Your Organization, Your Talent Pipeline and Brand.

• Understand the difference between strategic partnerships vs sponsorship with our chapter.
