Sponsorship Opportunities

Thank you for considering our sponsorship opportunities!  We are expecting about 100 attendees from 33 communities across the country that are participating in this exciting initiative focused on dramatically improving the performance of communities throughout our country.

Our attendees are diverse and come from all sectors of a community. They include leaders and decision-makers in city government, county government, and education, health, economic development, nonprofit, and safety sectors.  Some participants are being introduced to Baldrige for the first time, some are in the early stages of learning, and some are long-time Baldrige devotees.
