Open to credit unions and vendors are sponsorships for the Foundation’s Gala, where supporters can champion the dinner, cocktail reception, and more.
Lastly, vendors and League business partners are invited to play a key role in the success of LAUNCH as a Takeoff Sponsor (45-minute breakout session), Sprint Session Sponsor (20-minute session), Exhibit Booth Sponsor, and more.
