Associates/Vendor Sponsorship Opportunities
According to the SEAHO constitution, our purpose is to:
Provide an opportunity to college and university housing officers for personal and professional growth through attendance at an annual conference and to facilitate an exchange of ideas and dialogue with professional colleagues.
At the conference there will be many professionals that are influential in the purchasing process or will be making these decisions in the near future. It is our goal to give them and you every opportunity to interact. In a time of low institutional budgets, your sponsorships help us keep this conference as a viable option for many housing professionals.There are a variety of items that we hope to get sponsored in an attempt to keep costs down for delegates, from meals and breaks, volunteer t-shirts, notebooks, or gifts in our welcome bag.
