SPONSORSHIP INFORMATIONRCRI welcomes and appreciates your support as a sponsor of the 2019 National Conference. We have two levels available for sponsorship. Gold Level Sponsors who contribute a minimum of $2,500 will be entitled to up to two additional complimentary registrations. Silver Level Sponsors do not receive additional registrations as part of the sponsorship fee. All sponsors will be acknowledged in our printed brochure given to participants at the conference. If you wish to participate as a sponsor, please fill out the sponsorship form and return it to RCRI with the sponsorship fee. For Silver sponsors, workshop choices for sponsorship will be given on a first received/first assigned basis.

Full sponsorships will be considered before partial ones; however, if two or more sponsors wish to combine to sponsor one event fully, it will be considered a full sponsorship. Each of those co-sponsors would be acknowledged with signage, listing, and announcements. The “four additional registrations” would be shared among the co-sponsors.
