BECOME A SPONSOR!

Consistently reported as the most important meeting of the year by attendees, the Summit expects to have the agricultural and rural legislative leadership from approximately 47 states, 5 Canadian provinces and 2-3 U.S. territories. SARL provides all on-site expenses for invited state legislators and even funds travel for those in agriculture leadership from states with travel bans. Thirteen of our 2003 attendees moved into chamber leadership positions in 2004 and we fully expect similar results following this election cycle. Our sponsors must find the Summit rewarding because we have a 98% return rate and as a result have not generally needed to secure new sponsors.

Sponsors are permitted the participation of one sponsor representative in SARL membership and voting rights. The SARL Board includes three industry representatives nominated and voted on at the annual Summit. There is no industry attendance beyond sponsors, so that attendance is limited and one-on-one contact of our sponsors and legislators is maximized.

This year’s meeting agenda has a unique addition, a session on the best and worst of state legislation. All sponsors will be encouraged to submit their examples as well. This session will provide a unique opportunity to look at the good and bad of agricultural legislation. For more information on becoming a sponsor, contact Dr. Carolyn Orr at (859)734-5438 or corr@agandruralleaders.org To make a donation, click here.

SPONSOR INFORMATION

DISPLAY TABLES: There will be space for sponsors to put a small (two foot) display about your company or put out company materials in the main meeting room. Please let Carolyn know if you intend to use this area.

LEGISLATION: There will be a session on “the Best and not so Best of State Legislation”. Please be thinking of a bill or bills you would like submitted and send to Carolyn Orr at corr@agandruralleaders.org

LOGO: We need your newest logo in electronic format as soon as possible. Please send to corr@agandruralleaders.org.

SUMMIT MATERIALS: You are provided the opportunity to include one information piece in the Summit folder. It is easier if it has been three hole punched, but since we have backpacks this year that is not necessary. If you would like to include some other marketing piece or memento they can be put into the backpacks. Please send it to Carolyn Orr, 1545 Mundys Landing Rd, Harrodsburg, KY 40330 prior to January 10th.

FRIDAY DINNER: Due to demand from you, our sponsors, we will repeat the Night on the Town dinner Friday, January 18, 2008. The agenda has everyone returning from the tour of the Busch Brewery for a reception (6:00-7:00pm). From here you are welcome to take legislators of your choice to dinner. A list of confirmed attendees will be available early in January if you would like to invite legislators before the Summit.
