How to Sponsor an Award+-
For one week only we’re opening up sponsorship for our Annual Awards! Although our Annual Awards Ceremony typically happens during our Annual Conference, this year we’ve had to move our Annual Awards online. However, we have a great celebration planned! Beginning this month, we’ll highlight one of our award winners each day, providing our audience bite-sized peeks at this year’s best in revitalization and preservation. You can download the Annual Awards sponsorship form here.
If you want to sponsor one of our awards, you have to act now. We’ll only have sponsorship open for one week.
