Sponsorship Opportunities As mentioned earlier in this brochure, more than 2,000 school board members and superintendents attend the MSBA Leadership Conference each year. With this in mind, there is no better way to show Minnesota education decision makers that your organization is a true supporter of education than through sponsorship at this MSBA event. Not only does sponsorship at the Leadership Conference show that you are a supporter, but it also gives your organization extra exposure and recognition offering a greater chance to network, make connections and build relationships. MSBA has several sponsorship opportunities available for this event. You’ll receive signage and promotion, both in MSBA publications and at the event, in recognition of your generous sponsorship. Please contact Sue Munsterman at smunsterman@mnmsba.org or 507-934-2450 to find out more about this exciting opportunity!
