Sponsorship Opportunities?

Hey, apologies if this isn’t quite the right space for this, but I think this might fall under Finance? Or perhaps Program?

There have recently been a couple of ideas discussed (notably, the digital agenda and the GeoLounge) where the notion of sponsorship opportunities were brought up.

It wouldn’t be much, maybe just a note at the bottom of the agend? Or during a GeoGuessr tournament, tell people that it’s sponsored by so-and-so, maybe they do a small prize.

Do we think this is a good idea to pursue? And if so, how would we go about doing it? And for my own sake, which committee would oversee this? I think it’s a fine idea, but once money gets involved, I want to tread a little more carefully. :money_mouth_face:

I think it would definitely be worth an e-mail to the sponsors with a list of sponsorship opportunities and the expectations with each event/feature (Bowling/Agenda, etc.)

We can see what @kddarby25 thinks is the way to approach them with this info.

I would talk to the Program Committee first on this and if there is general consensus then approach the sponsors for their interest and feedback.

All right, get ready Program! I’ve got a lot for the next meeting. @sspradling @mkamin could you get this topic on the agenda for the next committee meeting to start some general discussion around it?
