Become a Sponsor

As in past years, to make the conference a success, we need your help! Dorchester sponsors are valued participants and a key component to our success. Your sponsorship enables us to award scholarships to deserving students, obtain prominent speakers, and keep registration affordable.



As a sponsor, your name will be printed and distributed in the official registration package and will be displayed in prominent areas at the Seaside Convention Center. You will be recognized from the podium throughout the conference and you will also be invited to our Friday evening Board reception for political leaders. In 2006 we began offering the opportunity to become a premier Tent Show Sponsor.

Dorchester offers the following sponsorship levels and added benefits:

• Keynote Sponsor: $5,000. Logo recognition in several formats, five complimentary registrations to conference and Friday Board Reception, and other key benefits.
• Tent Show Sponsor: $2,500. Key logo recognition in several ways during the conference and during the Tent Show, four complimentary registrations to conference and Friday Board Reception, and much more.
• Presidential Sponsor: $1,000. Logo recognition in many ways during the conference and two complimentary registrations to conference and Friday Board Reception.
• Executive Sponsor: $500. Recognition of your company during the conference and one complimentary registration to conference and Friday Board Reception.
• General Sponsor: $100-250. Recognition in conference materials and one ticket for Friday Board Reception.

Please see the Sponsorship Registration form (PDF) for details on the key benefits we are offering this year (for example, sponsorships at or above $500 also receive an exhibit booth and all sponsors are invited to the Friday Board Reception!).
