2013 ADC National Partnership Opportunities 1 | P a g e

ADC’S 2013 NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM

ADC recognizes the importance of building high impact, high value partnerships with our corporate/organizational members. Through partnership opportunities, ADC provides a unique value for your company/organization to:

Enhance outreach to DoD, Congress and other key stakeholders

Open new markets by leveraging ADC’s vast network

Enhance your role as a thought leader

Raise your profile

Develop new contacts

Play a leadership role within ADC and defense communities How does the program work? The basic level of support for National Partners is $5,000. This level comes with specific benefits, including general recognition and an event registration. From that point, it is a “cafeteria plan” where you design your organization’s package and add expanded and/or event opportunities listed below to develop a customized package. Alternatively, you can propose your own idea and if it works, we can assign a value and add it to your package. We developed the menu as a starting point for thinking about the types of partnership opportunities and we encourage your ideas and additions. What are the levels? Our program is about customizing packages to meet your needs, so we do not necessarily have specific levels of support. After all the commitments have been made, we will group sponsors into the following categories for recognition purposes: Tier 1 $35,000+ Tier 2 $10,000 up to $35,000 Tier 3 $5,000 up to $10,000 Tier 4 $5,000 or less How do I get started? Review the information below and then contact Tim Ford or Todd Herberghs (see below for contact information) to setup a meeting. From this meeting, ADC will develop a proposal for you to consider and once we have reached agreement, you will receive an invoice. ADC will coordinate payment arrangements and your benefits at that point.
