Why Sponsor?

The National Association for Rural Mental Health invites you to consider sponsoring an event at our annual conference singly, or co-sponsoring with another organization. We also invite you to use your imagination and bring us your suggestions for additional opportunities. All NARMH sponsors receive exposure in print material promoting the conference, on NARMH’s website and, depending on the level of sponsorship, receive complimentary registrations to the conference. The conference will be held August 23-26, 2018, at the Astor Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference is an opportunity to reach clinicians, administrators, physicians, consumers, family members, program/ service providers, researchers, policy and decision-makers with your marketing message.

CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIPS

Sponsors should fill out the sponsorship agreement form no later than August 1, 2018 to be included in the conference program. Partial sponsorship of events will be considered. We hope you will consider this unique opportunity to show your support for rural mental health and have your organization be seen by many rural professionals and those living and working in rural areas.
