PROGRAMMING SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The mission of the705 is to develop our community and members personally,
professionally, and civically, with the aim of creating a better Acadiana. Through our
dedication to this mission, we have witnessed the transformative impact we can have on
not only our members who span throughout Acadiana, but the community as a whole.
As a member based non-profit organization led only by a working Board of Directors, to
continue our contributions and make a lasting change, we rely on the generous support
of sponsors and funding. The importance of sponsorships cannot be overstated, as they
enable us to maintain our programs, initiatives, and resources that directly benefit our
members and the wider community.
Sponsorships play a vital role in nurturing the personal growth of our members. By
offering financial support for professional development opportunities, mentorship
programs, and leadership training, sponsors help our members unlock their full potential.
This investment not only strengthens individuals but also cultivates a network of talented
and driven professionals who are poised to strengthen the economic landscape and
shape Acadiana’s future.
By investing in our organization, sponsors not only enhance their
brand visibility, they help us continue our impactful work and
demonstrate their commitment to the betterment
of Acadiana. Together, through sponsorship and
partnership, we can create a thriving Acadiana that benefits everyone involved.
