Stand Out Front with MSBR’s New “Sponsor the Speaker” Promotion

Thank you to Entarian for sponsoring our November speaker!

Your MSBR board is continually looking for ways to both help our member companies gain meaningful market exposure and increase our ability to support STEM organizations throughout Maryland. To that end, we are pleased to announce the introduction of a “Sponsor the Speaker” option for our luncheons this year.

The $1,200 per event sponsorship cost provides you with the honor of introducing that month’s speaker, accompanied by a slide with your company’s name and logo, as well as a single seat for your company’s designated representative at the head table.

The full sponsorship cost will be a donation directly to MSBR’s STEM Grant Fund, which supports STEM groups – largely comprised of students – throughout the state of Maryland. Last year, MSBR proudly donated $60,000 to approximately 30 groups, many of whom counted on our support to fund this year’s operations.

We hope that you will consider sponsoring a future luncheon. Sponsorships are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please contact Missy at missy@mdspace.org to sponsor or with any questions.
