Sponsor APA PennsylvaniaSoutheast for 2017!

December 15, 2016 / / Comments Off on Sponsor APA PennsylvaniaSoutheast for 2017!

The work and programs by the Southeast Section of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Planning Association (APAPASE) aren’t possible without the support of our sponsors. We are releasing sponsorships now for organizations who prefer to take advantage of end of year giving, but are always happy to work with new sponsors.

We’ve adapted our sponsorship levels to respond to suggestions from sponsors. The sponsorship levels are laid out in our 2017 Sponsorship Package. If you would like to discuss a custom sponsorship, simply contact sponsorship@apapase.org to start the discussion.
