How do I become a sponsor?

Sponsorships for all SMPS 2009 events are available beginning mid-November. In order to make the process as fair as possible, sponsorships will be taken on a first-come/first-served basis. To sign up, contact Carrie Andreotti, Sponsorship Chairperson, by phone at (916) 786-8883 or by e-mail at candreotti@engeo.com.

Gold sponsorships for members only will be taken the first week followed by Silver sponsorships for members only for a week. If any programs remain after the the first two weeks, they will then be available to non-members.

Suggestion: Have a second and third choice in mind when you contact Carrie in case your first choice has already been taken.

It’s going to be a stellar year to sponsor!
