Leader

The LEADER Project has arranged sponsorship into three distinct levels:

Partner Sponsors,

LEADER Sponsors,

And Individual Sponsors.

Partner-Level Sponsors

There is an opportunity for up to four firms to become a Partner of the LEADER Project. LEADER Partnership status is initiated through a minimum donation of $5000. This level of sponsorship provides an excellent and cost effective means to build the level of awareness of your firm within the Richard Ivey School of Business, the Canadian Media, LEADER Alumni, and the LEADER teaching regions.

Partner Benefits:

o Promotion of the company brand on www.leaderproject.com, various promotional materials and in our Annual Report

o External promotion of your firm by the LEADER communications committee through targeted media communications

o Promotion of the Partner Brand at our Annual Toronto Alumni Event in March 2009

o Promotion among LEADER Alumni: now over 650 members of the business community

o Partner Reception with LEADER Participants at the Richard Ivey School of Business

o Internal promotion of your firm as a “Partner of the LEADER Project” amongst the Ivey students and alumni

o Placement of the name of your firm prior to the subject of the curriculum you have chosen to sponsor. For example, “The [Your Company Name Here] Finance Day”

o Regular updates on the progress of the LEADER Project throughout the year, including two partner updates and a copy of our Annual Report

o Sponsorship of specific sites or regions where your company has business interests

o Distribution of promotional materials or products. LEADER representatives will work with you to determine the most effective materials for distribution

Individual Sponsorship

The LEADER Project needs your support. By making a tax-deductible contribution, you are contributing directly to the education of current and future leaders of business in economically important regions of the world. This education in fundamental management skills and principles will form the foundation for future business relationships and joint ventures between Canadian businesses and those in the evolving markets in which LEADER operates.
