In-Kind Opportunities

No cost.

Not all promotional opportunities involve a hard cost!  In many instances, the most visible opportunity is to allow the WMEA to shine the spotlight on what your company does best.  WMEA is in need of material support for its Conference. Areas of special need always include instruments (pianos, keyboards, percussion, large strings; delivery and on-site maintenance), support equipment (risers, stands, acoustic shells; delivery; installation) and transportation services.  In recognition for all in-kind support provided, WMEA will work with you to ensure you are publicly acknowledged.  Please contact Michelle Dietz (mdietz@wsmamusic.org or 608.850.3566) to customize an opportunity to feature your products and services in action.
