IFMA Suncoast ANNUAL Sponsorship Benefits
If you are involved in any aspect of the built environment – planning, designing, purchasing, managing, or providing workplace-related products and services – then IFMA chapter sponsorship* is right for you and your company. Here's why...
Sponsoring the Suncoast Chapter of IFMA puts your firm in the spotlight for our over 100 Professional Facility Manager members. There is no other organization in the Tampa Bay area that offers you this type of "targeted audience" exposure. In addition to committee/event participation opportunities and networking prior to each monthly meeting, sponsorship benefits are offered for each of the four levels, per the table below. Suncoast Chapter annual sponsors are recognized from January through December each year on banners and often times, PowerPoint slides. Annual Sponsorship Drive is generally in October/November each year. (Note: Sponsorships are individual in nature and cannot be underwritten by more than one company.)
If you missed the opportunity to become an Annual Sponsor we do offer sponsorship opportunities for our Annual Golf Event. Those are generally offered mid January to early March. You can reach out to Golf Chair, Val Scott for more details at vscott@dsisecurity.com
