Sponsorship Guiding Principles

Corporate sponsors play a critical role in helping to achieve the Goals of WMDLA. Sponsorship is a great way to gain increased visibility with thousands of distance learning professionals across multiple organizations. Sponsors are afforded the opportunity to observer and interact with live distance learning events at conferences, as well as the opportunity to highlight current and emerging technologies supporting distance learning in our demonstration area. WMDLA appreciates the involvement of corporate sponsors in activities and strives to deliver the highest quality programs and recognition to corporate sponsors through its web page, programs, and other networked activities. The following principles guide the relationship between WMDLA and its corporate sponsors.

 

·        WMDLA interactions with corporate sponsors are characterized by a high degree of professionalism with a profound respect for the proprietary nature of information or products shared by corporate sponsors.

·        WMDLA strives to provide meaningful value to corporations in recognition of their participation with the association.

·        WMDLA does not endorse specific corporations or their products and services. It acknowledges corporate participation publicly, but in ways that do not suggest endorsement.

·        Corporate presentations at WMDLA events are not for the purpose of pitching products or services but to demonstrate distance-learning initiatives.

·        WMDLA balances conflicting corporate sponsors objectives. Both the length of relationships with corporations and the financial level of involvement of these relationships are weighed in determining priority access to sought-after WMDLA services and venues.

·        WMDLA is accountable primarily to its membership. WMDLA objectives, if ever in conflict with a corporate sponsors objectives, take precedence.
