2014–2015 Fees & Benefits
of Chapter Sponsorship
Interacting With
HFMA First IL Chapter
There are a variety of ways large and small that interested companies and organizations can interact with the First IL Chapter and our members. From a chapter
sponsorship, to exposure on our web-page to special event partnerships, there are options to meet every budget and objective. First IL was quite literally, the first
local HFMA chapter, and remains one of the largest chapters with over 1,500 individual members. We welcome your interest in working with us to provide you
a platform to share information about your organization.
This sponsorship guide explains in detail the formal opportunities available. However, if you have questions, or suggestions for an opportunity you don’t see
listed, please call Chad Preston at 615.414.1025, or email him at [email protected]. As always, you can reach out to the chapter via email at
[email protected].
Finally, because of the popularity of our various sponsorship opportunities, all sponsorships will be first offered to the prior year’s sponsor. If that sponsor passes
on the opportunity, it will then be made available to other organizations on a first come, first served basis.
