CUNA HR/TD Council Summit

Partners in Human Resources, Training & Development

We know how important vendor partners are to our success as credit union human resources, training and development executives. We know, too, how important it is for you to be able to reach those executives across the country with news of your products and services. And we've been told that vendors want to show support to the CUNA HR/TD Council in a way that's meaningful to the relationships they want to build.

We believe we have an opportunity for you to show that support and gain the high profile image with the country's premier credit union human resources, training and development executives that you're looking for.

How does it work?

At the CUNA HR/TD Council Summit, there is an opportunity for different levels of sponsorship. You can decide which sponsorship best fits your needs and budget. With all levels of sponsorship, you will receive mention in the program guide, signage at the conference and public recognition. In addition, at the gold and silver sponsorship level you will receive one complimentary registration. Platinum sponsorships receive two complimentary registrations. Higher levels of sponsorship will receive more opportunities for exposure.

Through the Partners Program, you'll be able to sponsor the popular social and dynamic educational events that give the CUNA HR/TD Summit its unique feel and flavor. The Partners Program allows you to mix and mingle with all participants while showing financial support in a public way that will attract attention, earn the respect of human resources, training and development executives; plus the thanks of the CUNA HR/TD Council through signage, the conference handbook and public recognition. In addition, it will allow you the opportunity to discuss your products and services in detail with conference attendees at all social events, educational sessions, networking breaks, luncheons, and receptions

What Activities Are Not Permitted?

The purpose of the Partners Program is to provide vendors with the opportunity to support the annual conference and in return receive considerable name recognition and direct networking opportunities. We request that our Partners use good judgment and business practices while interacting with our attendees. Activities or behaviors considered less than productive jeopardize the value of the conference for our attendees and may result in termination of the Partner relationship.

No activities may be scheduled at any time that will draw participants away from sessions or other conference activities.

Use of the email addresses of the registrants is prohibited without the prior approval of Council Administration. Please email all samples to bbischke@cuna.com prior to distribution.

Any activity not sanctioned by the CUNA Councils may not be advertised as part of the Partners Program. The Council reserves the right to prohibit distribution of non-sanctioned materials within the designated conference areas of the hotel.

Participation in the Partners Program should not be viewed as an endorsement by the Council.
