Focused on “Best practices” in sponsorship, this presentation will focus on prospecting, presenting, acquisition, fulfillment and renewals with the end goal of keeping your sponsors coming back for more! Put your rollerskates on - from “Beware of the Wrong Rapunzel and “Big Ideas on a Small Budget,” to “Lagniappe,” the secrets of your success are about to be revealed.
