Why Sponsor?
The National Association invites you to consider sponsoring an
event at our annual conference singly, or co-sponsoring with another
organization. We also invite you to use your imagination and bring
us your suggestions for additional opportunities. All NARMH sponsors
receive exposure in print material promoting the conference, on
NARMH’s web site and, depending on the level of sponsorship, receive
complimentary registrations to the conference. This year the 35th
annual conference will be held June 17-20, 2009, at the Hyatt
Regency Albuquerque in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The conference is an
opportunity to reach clinicians, administrators, physicians,
consumers, family members, program/ service providers, researchers,
policy and decision-makers with your marketing message.
CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIPS
Sponsors should fill out the sponsorship agreement form no later
than February 1, 2009 to be included in the brochure and May 1, 2009
to be included in the conference program. Partial sponsorship of
events will be considered. We hope you will consider this unique
opportunity to show your support for rural mental health and have
your organization be seen by many rural professionals and those
living and working in rural areas.
