2008-2009
ANNUAL SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS

April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009
Information is subject to change without notice

A FRESH APPROACH

The CoreNet Global Northern California Chapter Board of Directors endeavors to create and enhance mutually rewarding relationships with our colleagues in the Corporate Real Estate Industry whether an End User or a Service Provider. We are inviting the chapter's contributors to be collaborators with us and become more actively involved in helping plan and present programs to our membership. We know there are untapped sources of expertise and knowledge that can enrich the content of our programs and communications.

More practically, we would like to spend less time chasing sponsors and more time planning quality programs and events. We would like to provide more opportunities for high dollar contributors to participate in high level networking and to be acknowledged year round.

One key strategy to achieve this goal is the creation of an Annual Partnership Program for our Northern California Chapter members. Other chapters around the country have successfully implemented annual sponsor programs the past few years. The program will provide increased visibility and benefits for contributing members and a predictable annual revenue source for the chapter. We are offering three levels of sponsorship to accommodate the diversity of our membership. For the top tier annual sponsors, we will help customize the program to meet the professional goals of the member and their company. Please feel free to contact a member of the Board of Directors to learn how your company and you will benefit from our new approach.
