2012 Sponsorship Opportunities
Dear Friend of ONABEN,
The Oregon Native American Business and Entrepreneurial Network (ONABEN) would like to invite you to take part in the 10th Annual Trading at the River Conference and Trade Show. Your support and participation will make this event a very special experience for Indian Country.
As you may be aware, Trading at the River brings together Native-owned businesses, social entrepreneurs and leaders in Native American business development initiatives in a continued effort to grow the economies of Indian Country and strengthen cultures and communities.
In our 10th year, the conference will continue our exploration of the multiple dimensions and applications of creative enterprise to community and economic development. This year’s conference theme is “Transforming our Communities through Entrepreneurship: Catch the Dream, Follow the Spirit, Make it Happen.”
Trading at the River is a celebration of the spirit of Native American innovation and a showcase for Native American enterprises of all shapes and sizes. Like the historic gatherings that occurred among traders of this region in our past, Trading at the River creates a venue where goods are exchanged services rendered, inspiring stories are told and lessons are learned. It is a place where connections are made--business-to-business, native-to-native, tribe-to-tribe, and past to present.
Trading at the River provides a unique opportunity for your organization to create a presence in our region and is the perfect outlet to promote your organization’s community outreach initiatives. ONABEN applauds your commitment to bettering the communities that we serve, and encourages you to support Native entrepreneurship and Tribal economic development.
The activities of commerce, culture and the connections we make will help us create a livelihood that will endure for millennia to come. Mark your calendar for the 2012 Trading at the River, April 19 & 20th and help us further the development of the Native American business community and the economies they encompass. Please see the attached form for sponsorship levels and benefits. We must continue in our effort to build a lasting and growing economy within Native American communities. Please create a partnership with ONABEN and commit today to sponsor Trading at the River.
Sincerely,
Tom Hampson, Executive Director
