Sponsorships/Recognition
Benefit from maximum recognition by sponsoring CHIA convention events and activities. Any vendor who sponsors/hosts any part of an event will receive recognition in the State Convention & Exhibit program and on site while the event is occuring. Special ribbons for booth personnel will be provided acknowledging you as a sponsor. At convention time and after, acknowledgement of sponsors will be featured in the CHIA Journal and on this ever popular CHIA Web site. In addition, all Exhibitors host the Exhibitor-Sponsored Luncheon which encourages informal networking between Exhibitors and registrants. This lunch is complimentary to all registrants and Exhibitors. Any Exhibitor prizes may be awarded at this function. CLICK HERE to get the Sponsorship Opportunities page.

In 2005 CHIA created the Sponsorship Recognition Categories that would recognize the degree of participation by the various sponsors of the CHIA State Convention & Exhibit.
