sponsorship opportunities
We are pleased with your interest in supporting the 2008 Leadership Summit. VIID appreciates the sponsorship of institutions, corporations and other organizations committed to seeking positive policy changes for the U. S. Virgin Islands. Through such sponsorships, these organizations enable VIID to bring together a unique partnership of industry, national and local governments, academia, foundations and research organizations in a coordinated effort.
| Benefits of VIID Sponsorship |
Regardless of sponsorship level, there are many important benefits to sponsoring the 2008 Virgin Islands Leadership Summit:
MARKETING PRESENCE AND RECOGNITION
Virgin Islanders occupy leadership positions in agencies/organizations where they work and the communities where they live in and around the Nation's Capital, across the United States, in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Caribbean. Leadership Summit Sponsors at all levels are given recognition on VIID's website and in promotional materials, with greater opportunities for market presence and recognition at the Gold and Platinum levels. Your sponsorship works for you by promoting your company or organization at the highest levels.
BRAND LOYALTY
USVI and other leaders, scholars/experts, executives and agency officials who make decisions impacting the USVI community participate in the Leadership Summit. They are provided important information in VIID handouts, briefings and the VIID website. Build loyalty among these decision makers and the press by becoming a VIID Sponsor, which offers opportunities for building loyalty to your products and services.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROWTH OF VIID
Over the years, organizations and individuals contributing to the Institute achieve special recognition at Summit events televised and aired on cable. As the Institute continues to expand its media reach, contributors aiding the expansion can expect to receive national recognition at Summit events televised/aired nationally. As the only think tank on USVI issues and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Institute is uniquely positioned to offer your company or organization such high levels of recognition.
INTERACT WITH COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT LEADERS
“It’s not what you know, but who you know” is a common saying with some merit in any industry. Through the Virgin Islands Leadership Summit, you have an unparallel opportunity to network with Leaders from a wide cross-section of the VI Community Diaspora, as well as with federal and local government/agency/institution officials and others working (or desiring to work) with USVI businesses, agencies and institutions. By networking with Summit participants, your company will have access to the Leaders who are shaping VI policy. Only in DC can you develop personal relationships with Washington “Friends” of the VI Community, members of the Caribbean Diplomatic Corps, members of Congress (from both sides of the aisle), senior federal government officials and the press.
