Pa u l T h r i ve n t Fi n a n c i a l Monthly Meeting Sponsorship Sponsorship of a monthly meeting was rated the overall best value in a survey conducted in 2004. A monthly meeting generally consists of three components: 1) A plant or facility based tour for members 2) A related 30-45 minute presentation 3) Social Hour and dinner with all attendees. These meetings are held on the third Monday of the month from 5:00-7:30pm approximately 7-8 times per year. Cost ranges from $750-$1500 depending on attendance and dinner/social arrangements. Included with sponsorship is a full page ad in our monthly newsletter. If you are interested in sponsoring a monthly meeting, please contact the Programs Chairperson from our Executive Board. Preparations for these events is planned six months to one year prior to the event, so please contact us well in advance.
