The Illinois Arborist Association (IAA) is a volunteer organization that champions the care and preservation of trees throughout the state of Illinois. Research of new planting, pruning and climbing techniques as well as educating both members and non-members alike are at the heart of our organization. None of this would be possible, if it were not for our devoted and kind sponsors that contribute to the IAA and its mission. Listed below are the sponsorships opportunities that the IAA is offering reputable and caring companies willing to donate to a worthy cause.
Sponsors of IAA events play a critical role in allowing us to offer a variety of events to our members as well as opportunities for vendors of our industry to make connections with existing and future clients! This interaction and collaboration of arborist and vendors of industry helps the growth, exchanging of ideas and advancement of the industry! Support the professional advancement of the arboriculture industry and make lasting connections with existing as well as future clients!
Benefits of sponsoring IAA events –
- Exposure to thousands of arborists and various arboriculture companies throughout the state of Illinois
- Promote the advancement of arboriculture through the use of your products and services
- Interact and collaborate with existing and potential clients and grow your business
- Identify professionals in the industry that may find career opportunities with your place of business
Sponsorship levels will be awarded on a first come first serve basis, in other words, companies participating in the 2023 sponsorship program earn status as they contribute throughout the year, (i.e., Company ABC contributes $2,000.00 for an event early in the year, they will be listed as a Silver Sponsor. Sometime over in the summer Company ABC donates another $2,000.00. From that point forward, Company ABC will be recognized as a Gold Sponsor, etc.)
Standard sponsorship recognition includes a sign at the event, company listed in “Illinois Trees” newsletter as a sponsor and company name in all promotional materials and programs. All sponsorships secured before the event flyer goes out will have all sponsoring companies listed on it.
So take advantage of this excellent opportunity to get your company’s name out in front of the people that matter. Please contact April Toney at 877-617-8887 for more information.
