| SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
|
|
|
| Gain some valuable recognition at this year’s Annual Conference by helping to underwrite the expense of bringing in the top-notch and thought-provoking speakers that OCRA member reporters have come to expect. The best doesn’t come cheaply, however, which is why your support of OCRA’s conference goes such a long way. Each sponsor receives special acknowledgement during the conference, plus inclusion of promotional material in attendee packets. In addition, OCRA will provide post-conference acknowledgement on our website and in our newsletter.
