Sponsorship

Dear Employers, Career Services Staff & Business Partners:

The Virginia Association of Colleges and Employers (VACE) facilitates connections, communications, and networking between employers who hire college students, the career services staff who serve those students, and the associate members/vendors who help champion the profession.

In April of each year, VACE holds an annual conference that serves as a professional development resource and a networking forum for our members. The annual conference promises to be an exciting opportunity of professional engagement for both colleges and employer members alike.

As in the past, the success of our annual conference has largely been due to the contributions of our sponsors who have graciously provided financial support for the event. In return, VACE conference sponsors receive a significant amount of exposure in recognition of their contributions. Sponsors are recognized based on the level with benefits detailed below, and we also offer to write a “thank you” note to your CEO, President and/or direct supervisor.

Please contact me should you have any questions regarding the sponsorship opportunities.  We look forward to hearing from you before these branding opportunities are “sold out.”

 

Sincerely,

Lee Svete, Director of Finance
