Sponsorship Levels

WEST hosts a variety of educational and career development programs and events throughout the year.  Companies and organizations can sponsor these programs and receive benefits.   

 

Why support /Mutual GOALS?

WEST sponsorship provides an excellent platform to enable and make actionable, an organization’s goals to enhance support for women in the pursuit of careers in STEM.  Specifically, the programs are designed to expand women’s access to mentors, networks, and education within the relevance of STEM. As a residual impact, organizations that sponsor also have a wonderful opportunity to expand their visibility within the community through positive branding and recognition as a progressive employer who supports women in STEM.

 

How can you Engage and SUPPORT?

Support can be offered in a variety of formats and should align with the goals of both WEST and the respective sponsor. Examples including sponsoring signature events, workshops, networking sessions, and student scholarships, or buying group memberships or event ticket packages. Please find more details below.
