for myself as much as for what this award represents – the importance

of making social responsibility a priority in our world today.”

It can be difficult to position your brand in front of decision makers at responsible, consci-entious companies. Wouldn’t it be great to have access to the upper leadership of potential clients? If only it was that easy, right? The COMMIT!Forum makes it easy.

Each year, the COMMIT!Forum attracts C-suite executives, leaders in communications, CR and sustainability professionals, foundation heads, and non-profit executives for a two-day gather-ing of learning and celebrating CR wins. Profes-sionals who attend learn the latest best practices and how-tos from our hand-picked experts. And just as important, the COMMIT!Forum allows networking opportunities to engage with C-suite executives, CEOs, corporate communication pros, and CR professionals—industry leaders who can

help our attendees achieve their professional goals.

We invite your company to participate as a spon-sor of the 2017 COMMIT!Forum. This document details the underwriting opportunities available and the benefits thereof, which we think you might find helpful in your efforts to create com-pany and brand recognition before, during, and after this year’s event. I look forward to your call. Best,

Allie WilliamsVice PresidentSharedXpertise Media, LLC
