Alumni Representative -- Matt Long ??
- Group discussed an event called "Now What" for recent grads to participate
Preferred Providers and other Sponsorship Questions
What do we think the cost should be to display a company's name on the "Preferred Providers" page on the BlueRidge website, $50 or $100? I was thinking we would do this for them for a year. Should we expect the website to be changed to reflect this addition before the next board meeting? Maybe after?
Also, we discussed this at the last board meeting, what percentage should go to the scholarship fund?
My recommendation would be to charge $100 for the year with maybe 10-20% going into the scholarship fund. Basically we would say "A portion of your donation will go toward the AIGA Student Scholarship Fund". Anyone have any thoughts on this? I won't be at the next board meeting, so I hope we can discuss it a little here.
