Support the DC Post with Sponsorship!
The purpose of the Sponsorship Program is to provide opportunities for our member firms for enhanced visibility and networking exposure within the SAME DC Post community. These opportunities for visibility will be offered through firm exposure on the DC Post’s website, sponsoring monthly events or periodic workshops and special events, and presentations to our members. Each sponsoring firm’s financial contribution will support the Post’s:
• Scholarship Fund,
• Young Members’ Activities,
• SAME Engineering and Construction Camp attendees,
• Leadership and Mentoring Activities
• and helping our organization keep costs low for our members.
The DC Post offers an excellent platform for your firm to expand its visibility through our expansive network of over 1,200 members representing both government and commercial organizations, and a community of over 7,000 in the DC area.
