Sponsorship Committee

Beacon has initiated a robust sponsorship program to enhance the offerings to members, undertake new initiatives, and to keep costs of current programs and events affordable.  to accomplish our sponsorship goals, the Beacon Sponsorship Committee seeks to build a strong team of members who will reach out to business and organizational contacts with whom we can share our sponsor opportunities and match their interests with our program benefits.  Below are more details regarding our program.  If you would like to join this Committee, please select the "join group" option above.  We welcome your participation and connections.
