A WORD FROM OUR 2009 SPONSORS

I have exhibited at BOOST the past 2 years and I have seen more return on my investment at BOOST than ANY other after school conference in the nation. I look forward to this conference not only for the sales aspect but for the amazing time I have with all the attendees! I highly recommend companies attend at least once to experience what BOOST has to offer…I am positive you will be back again!

I am glad that we sponsored the Growing Healthy Children strand at BOOST this year—it gave visibility to our organization, and the work that weʼre doing to address the childhood obesity crisis! We got the same room for all our workshops and could present them in the order that made sense to us! BOOST staff were very accommodating to meeting our needs. As a result of sponsoring the strand, we have made priceless connections and have been asked to present at an out-of-state conference, helping us spread the word about the importance of afterschool in addressing childhood obesity.

VP and COO, Center for Collaborative Solutions

As an organization that was looking to increase its visibility in the afterschool field, sponsoring a strand of workshops at the BOOST Conference was an invaluable opportunity for the League. The strand offered us the chance to highlight one of the projects we have undertaken, and receive feedback from a diverse group of stakeholders. Our website hits ballooned in the weeks following the conference, and our listserv increased by 20%. BOOST provided us a substantial return on investment.

Executive Director, League of California Afterschool Providers

Sponsoring a strand of workshops at BOOST has increased the visibility of After School University immensely! As a result of sponsoring a strand, After School University is able to provide practitioner-based technical assistance for after school staff not only in California, but throughout the nation!
