Sponsorships

WSCA appreciates the relationship with its sponsors and attempts to broaden the opportunity for event sponsorship. Event sponsorship will be awarded to the organization making the highest bid received by November 16th by the Executive Director.

The events available for sponsorship include events that attract the broad cross-section of the membership. The Kick Off Event and Welcome Reception begin the convention with humor and socializing, offering people the opportunity to greet old friends and meet new ones.
