Sponsorship Guidelines Becoming a sponsor of the ISSA National Capital chapter provides a venue for the sponsor to improve their corporate name recognition among security professionals, it offers access to ISSA-DC meetings, and provides a partnership between the ISSA and the sponsor. The sponsorship only applies to the ISSA National Capital Chapter and gives the sponsor no benefits to the ISSA at the International level or benefits at the other ISSA chapters. To qualify as a sponsor the company must be associated, in whole or in part, with the business, science, or education of information systems security. The chapter's board reserves the right to deny qualification of any request for sponsorship. | SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS SUMMARY | | BENEFITS | Sponsorship Type | | GOLD | SILVER | MEETING | | Cost | $1000 | $600 | $150 and up | | Duration from the date of receipt of payment | 12 months | 6 months | 1 month | | Inclusion of sponsor's logo in the rotating banner on the front page of ISSA-DC website. | YES | YES | NO | | Full recognition on ISSA-DC eNewsletters, events, and Chapter communications including materials for distribution at conferences and workshops.
