Workshop Sponsorship:

As a sponsor of the EMA Workshop, your first and foremost benefit is interacting with the diverse nature of our membership who are your existing and potential colleagues and clients. This can be achieved at the workshop as well as in information sent to all members prior to the workshop, the EMA website and in media such as newsletters, advertising, etc. In addition, as a workshop sponsor, you are entitled to various benefits. As this year has proven to have thrown all of us some challenges, we are offering all sponsors a reduced rate for involvement in order to ensure this important workshop still takes place. All sponsors are rewarded with exposure at one of BC’s premier yearly events for senior personnel from British Columbia’s Environmental Management Industry representing Industry, Consulting, Managers and Service Providers. In previous years, the workshop day sponsorships sold out and there was a wait list for attendees. Now is the time to sign up to ensure you are not disappointed!
