Sponsorship

Being a conference sponsor is a great opportunity to market your products and services to the parents, family members, and human service professionals who attend. In addition, because the conference will be heavily promoted to our constituency via email and social media, your organization or business will reach The Arc’s ever-growing online community.

Your sponsorship directly supports families as they prepare for the future while positioning your organization as a trusted partner in the disability community. Together, we can provide families with the tools they need today and the hope they deserve for tomorrow.
