A critical contributing factor to NMHC’s success over the past few years has been the tremendous generosity of our members who have sponsored various events and speakers at our Membership Meetings and strategic information Forums and Conferences & Expositions. The sponsors have afforded us the luxury of presenting high-level content in first-class settings that are generally considered to be the premier gatherings for senior executives of the apartment industry. In 2012, we are continuing the following categories of sponsorships: • Chairman’s Circle for firms that commit to sponsor $50,000 or more in 2012 • Friends of the Council for firms that sponsor $25,000 to $49,999 in 2012 • General Sponsor for firms that sponsor $5,000 to $24,999 in 2012

Both Chairman’s Circle and Friends of the Council sponsors will automatically receive additional benefits detailed below.

CHAIRMAN’S CIRCLE If your firm commits to $50,000 or more in sponsorships in 2012, you will join the Chairman’s Circle and receive the following benefits: • Sponsorship recognition during every 2012 NMHC Membership Meeting, Forum and Conference & Exposition, not just the specific meeting(s) you sponsor. • Chairman’s Circle sponsors may register up to a maximum of four (4) additional attendees at no cost for every 2012 NMHC Membership Meeting, Forum, Conference & Exposition, not just the specific meeting(s) you sponsor. • Invitations to VIP events such as luncheons with the General Session speakers and the Chairman’s Reception, and VIP photo opportunities with keynote speakers at the membership meetings. • Opportunity to select sponsor items for your $50,000. For example, if you give $50,000 you can select the Annual Meeting Welcome Reception for $25,000, the Spring Board of Directors Dinner for $15,000 and the Student Housing Conference Overall Sponsorship for $10,000.

Companies having such a business agreement may choose to: A. Be aligned on the exhibit floor adjacent to each other in order to jointly promote the specific product; or B. Be represented by only one of the companies in the agreement utilizing exhibit space, but displaying through signage that the product is a joint venture/ co-marketed product; or C.

A copy of the letter should also go to each of the companies in the agreement. Space allocation should be based on the present points average of the companies in the agreement. If only one company is exhibiting the co-marketed product, show management should deal only with that exhibiting company. Subletting of space for the purpose of allowing another company to exhibit within the principal exhibit is not permitted. If the non-exhibiting company needs registration badges, they should work directly with show management and according to show management’s policies. Show management will make every effort to be inclusive of all joint marketing partners. If possible and upon request, the names of both joint partners should be included in separate listings in the printed materials.

All business activities, circulars, and advertising matter must be conducted and distributed within the booth(s) assigned to the exhibitor.
